Fish with a particularly high fat content provide you with many polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Despite their high energy density they are very healthy. At least if you eat no more than a handful a day. Walnuts also improve your cholesterol levels. Are good for your heart health. They provide a lot of satiating proteins, fiber and antioxidants. They are perfect as a snack between meals – not only if you want to lose weight, but also if you want to keep your brain fit.
