Are you trying to eat healthy, but you’re stuck in a rut of the same old food that’s not very interesting? Our mission at Nuts Over Fish is to break people like you out of their boring health food funk and bring delicious flavors to your meals while still maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. You can’t go wrong with any of our nut toppings, but using our cashew topping to make cashew crusted salmon is one of our favorite easy dinners.
You probably know that there is a difference between “good fats” and “bad fats.” Cashews are a food that contains monounsaturated fat, which is one of the good fats. According to the American Heart Association, when consumed in moderation, monounsaturated fats can help lower the level of bad cholesterol in your blood. As a result, they also help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Good sources of protein are essential to your diet. Protein is the basic building block of many parts of your body, including your muscles, skin, bones, hair, nails, and cartilage. Your body uses protein both to grow new cells and to repair damage to tissue. For example, increasing the amount of protein in your diet can help strengthen your hair and nails, as they are almost completely made of protein.
We’ve all heard about antioxidants and that they’re a good thing. But many of us are unsure what they actually are. The simplest way to explain it is that antioxidants are substances found in certain foods that help prevent or delay some cell damage in your body. Cashews contain antioxidants that can reduce your risk of developing heart disease and even some cancers.
While health benefits are important, they’re not the only reason we choose to eat certain foods. You don’t just want your food to be healthy, you also want it to be delicious! Luckily, when you use Nuts Over Fish toppings, you get exactly that. And it’s so easy to add to your meals. Just sprinkle it on top of your favorite fish, pop it in the oven, and you’ve made a delicious and healthy dinner.
