Benefits of Walnuts and Almonds from http://www.dietdetective.com/content/view/3148/3/

Walnuts:

Why: It takes a bit of work to crack the hard shell and get the goods, but once you do they're worth it. Besides their great taste, walnuts are known for their high antioxidant activity. Antioxidants help offset the detrimental effects of oxidation, a process that is constantly occurring in the body and is a primary cause of aging. In a study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, walnuts ranked second only to blackberries (out of 1,113 foods tested) in antioxidant activity. Oh, and are you having trouble sleeping? Get this: Walnuts are the richest known food source of melatonin.

Nutrients: Walnuts contain many essential vitamins and minerals. A 1-ounce serving is a good source of phosphorus and magnesium and an excellent source of copper. There are also 2 grams of fiber and a decent percentage of niacin, thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin E, zinc and potassium.


Health Perks: This is the only nut that contains a significant amount of omega-3s — 2.6 grams in 1 ounce. Plant sources of omega-3s benefit the skeletal system by decreasing the breakdown of bone. Eating an ounce of walnuts (to replace other calories, not in addition to your diet) every day will lower your LDL “bad” cholesterol and improve circulation. Walnuts also play a role in decreasing blood pressure and reducing inflammation associated with heart disease.

Almonds:


Why: Almonds are available in more forms than any other nut. For any course and ethnic cuisine, there’s bound to be an appropriate form or culinary technique. Actually the seeds of the almond tree, they are delicious whether you eat them alone as a snack or sliced as a tasty accent in your food.

Nutrients: A handful (about 1 ounce) is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, a good source of protein, riboflavin and fiber, and also offers significant quantities of potassium, calcium, phosphorous, iron and monounsaturated fat.

Health Perks: An analysis of seven clinical studies found that eating 1 ounce of almonds daily as part of a healthy lifestyle lowers LDL cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. Additionally, other studies have shown that higher intakes of magnesium-rich foods like almonds may help maintain blood sugar and insulin levels, particularly after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal.
