Thanks Uncle Richie - what do you reckon, are nuts the health food we've been led to believe?

Great info
I do enjoy a mix of butters and whole nuts, I like walnuts broken into pieces in with my porridge but I like peanut butter on a bagel and whole almonds as a snack 😁
Facts
Great video.
I eat mixed nuts three of four times a week as a snack. I also find nuts an excellent and convenient snack when I go hiking, due to their high calorific value. The mixed nuts I have are, brazil, hazel, peanut, cashew, walnut. I figure that eating mixed nuts, will give me more nutrients and minerals, than just eating one type of nut.
And with the added bonus of being even more YUMMY! Agreed, they're such a great, tasty and healthy snack with so many potential health benefits. I love um!
@@davekennedy6315 Totally agree.
I have a small tub of nuts most days to stop me snacking on sweets and biscuits clearly I’ve been doing a lot of good without realising it 👍🏻
Great info but your loop background music was driving me nuts...pun intended.
Sorry the instrumental wasn't for you but we're glad you for the information useful
Use moderation in all things.
Oh incredibly knowledgeable Myprotein nutrition Oracle could you please answer me one question? I hear differing opinions on the value of complete proteins vs incomplete proteins. Some say that only complete sources (meat n fish) actually work for properly building muscle. Then others say that incomplete vegetable/nut etc sources are just as good as the complete. Is there a definitive answer? If not what are YOUR opinions? Thank you Doc, you're the man!
It's not a simple answer but, in smaller amounts, complete proteins (such as those from animal sources like milk, eggs and meat) are better for protein synthesis compared to a similar amount of plant based protein. However, in larger amounts i.e. more than the minimum necessary to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, the effects of plant and animal proteins are similar. So the short answer is, if you eat MORE plant protein, you can stimulate muscle growth just as much. It's worth pointing out that a lot of that research is carried out in plant protein powders so if you're getting that protein from whole foods like beans etc, you'll need more again as the fibre and food matrix can inhibit absorption of some of the protein.
Thanks Richie!
@@rkirwan1 thanks for clearing that up Richie, I knew you'd make it understandable! Just after I commented here I also watched your Myprotein vid 'Whey vs Plant Protein' which did go into it but this has now confirmed it. You truly are the Myprotein Oracle! This should now be your official title (along with a nice payrise!) as you literally do answer any and all questions. Thanks yet again mate!
@@davekennedy6315 any time mate
These nuts drive me nuts. They are great for anything!!
that absorption thing gives me headaches every time i try to count calories , even in plant proteins
Just count them as labelled and adjust based on your progress. It's not really worth stressing over
@@rkirwan1 Thanks Uncle Richie
But which nuts are the best for bone health that's what I want to know
In the case of vegans, I wouldn't even consider nuts as an important source of nutrients for bone health and I'd get a calcium and vitamin D supplement instead
@@rkirwan1 but nuts still contain minerals that are beneficial to Bones because bones need more than vitamin d and calcium
@@daysoftheboo the only one of really major importance is magnesium which is highest in brazil nuts but relatively high in almonds, cashews and hazelnuts, as I mentioned in the video but I still wouldn't focus on one food source to provide all your bone health needs and a balanced diet, properly supplemented may be most appropriate approach
@@rkirwan1 I do eat a variety of foods but it's just when it comes to the world of nuts I want to make sure I get the ones that have the most to offer but I do eat them in moderation because they're so high in calories I don't even consider nuts a source of protein I'm mostly consider them a source of healthy fats and minerals , I've talked to a few people that improved their bone health by adding nuts and prunes into their diet I enjoy both those foods but I know they have to be eaten in moderation , from what I've heard beans are also a good source of magnesium and other minerals but just like with nuts there's so many variety of beans it's hard to know which one is that the top of the best
