Walnuts are a great source of Omega 3, vitamins, minerals and protein but did you know that just a handful of these delicious nuts can significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in women?

Here’s a tip for those of you too worried about the extra calories: Pre-pack the walnuts into individual containers with 6 to 12 in each. This way you’ll be sure not to go overboard by eating multiple servings in one sitting.
