Why are nuts useful?

Here only adherents of strict diets need to consume nuts moderately - they are very caloric! But it's also not necessary to refuse them altogether, because the nuts stimulate intestinal peristalsis, which contribute to cleansing of toxins, restoring the whole organism, activating the immune system. Varieties of nuts are very many and every variety of this fruit is useful in its own way.
