Hey everybody, it's Ben Greenfield.

Before we jump into today's podcast, I want to tell you a little bit about my nuts,

because this podcast is brought to you by Nuts.com.

I recently made an order from Nuts.com, and for this order, I chose Drummerle Ple's

Macadamia.

A lot of people throw Macadamia nuts under the bus because we're used to seeing the

very calorie-rich chocolate-covered version that our relatives bring back from their yearly

vacation to Hawaii.

But it turns out that if you moderate them, Macadamia nuts are actually an excellent source

of a ton of different nutrients.

I've been putting them in my smoothie.

I love the crunch.

I love the flavor.

And they actually have a few cool benefits.

For example, Macadamia nuts have a huge amount of flavonoids in them, and flavonoids help

to prevent your cells from damage.

They can have a little bit of an anti-aging effect.

They have about 7% dietary fiber.

So they're really good source of fiber, which means they can increase satiety.

Again, they can increase satiety if you eat like five to seven Macadamia nuts.

Don't eat handfuls and handfuls to increase satiety.

That would be something else called calories, increasing the satiety.
