Immense Nutrient Power!

The nation’s health is at crisis point.

Poor diets are leading to a growth in chronic diseases including heart problems, Type 2 diabetes and even dementia. This is predicted to grow between 20%-90% over the next 15 years.

We’re living longer but the time lived without a disabling health condition is shortening.

You might not believe it, but the food we eat is the biggest contributor to this growing national health crisis.

Globally, consuming unhealthy, nutrient-deficient food instead of nutrient-rich, wholesome food causes more deaths than smoking every year.

In the UK alone, poor diets account for 22% of all deaths, which are completely preventable.

Most of us know we should be eating more good foods like fruit and veg, but, as a nation, we struggle. Whilst fruit and veg are full of nutrients, cramming in the recommended 400g a day, is hard.

There is another way…

Nuts, Seeds, and Dried Fruit.

Nature’s nutrient powerhouses!

Crammed with vitamins, minerals, fibre, and protein, there’s a mountain of nutrition in every handful. The immense nutritional benefits are plain to see:

25g of NUTS vs 80g of VEG

7x more protein (found in almonds helping build muscle mass)

40x more biotin (found in pumpkin seeds supports the nervous system)

10x more manganese (found in walnuts protects cells from oxidative stress, contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism)

25g of DRIED FRUIT vs 80g of FRESH FRUIT

3 x more potassium (found in dried apricots)

5 x more calcium (found in raisins)

12 x more iron (found in prunes, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue)

It’s the density of these nutrients that mean a portion of nuts, seeds or dried fruit is just a handful (about 25g) and not a plateful.

It’s amazing, right!?

Take almonds, walnuts or brazil nuts as an example. All 3 contain Manganese, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, maintenance of normal bones, formation of connective tissue and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

All those amazing health benefits crammed into a tiny handful.

Or how about Figs, prunes, apricots or the humble raisin? Each of these little wonders contain Iron, a wonderous micronutrient which contributes to normal cognitive function and cognitive development in children, the reduction of tiredness & fatigue and the function of the immune system.

Their power doesn’t end there…

Evidence shows that if we consumed more dried fruit, nuts & seeds the disease burden and diet-related deaths would reduce.

Studies have shown that a single 25g portion of nuts, 5 times a week can:

Reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 50%

Reduce Type 2 Diabetes by up to 24%

Reduce depression by 17%.

Nutrition studies by The Scientific Advisory Committee show that Dried Fruit, packed with fibre, can significantly reduce incidence of:

Cardiovascular Disease

Heart attacks

Strokes

Type 2 Diabetes

Colorectal cancers

Small wonder it’s time to think about Dried Fruit, Nuts & Seeds a little differently…

Experiment with flavour, texture and taste by adding a tiny handful.

So, to boost your brekkie,

power up your lunch,

supercharge snack time

or make dinner dynamite…

Just add Whitworths… Immense nutrient power crammed into a tiny handful.
