W is for walnuts! Did you know that walnuts are great for reducing cholesterol? Total cholesterol and lipoproteins are decreased when walnuts are substituted for other fatty foods and constitute up to 20% of the calories in the diet. When walnuts are added to a low fat diet, total cholesterol may be decreased by 4% and 12% and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may be decreased by 8% to 16%. Substituting walnuts in place of other dietary fats seem to improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Other research suggests that people who increase dietary consumption of walnuts and other nuts might have a lower risk of coronary artery disease and death due to coronary events. For lowering cholesterol, the fruit of approximately 8-11 walnuts or 30-56 grams (about ¼ to ½ cup) has been substituted for other dietary fats. Walnuts can be eaten as a snack, but can also be added into baking and in salads! How do you like to eat your walnuts? #atoznutrition #wellnesswednesday #rochesterny #nutritioncareofrochester #eatrightroc #walnuts #cholesterol #LDL #HDL #hearthealthy #heart #nuts photo source: authority nutrition

V is for vanilla! Vanilla is one of the world’s most popular flavoring materials, but did you know that vanilla is the second-most expensive spice after saffron, due to the extensive labor required to grow the vanilla seedpods? Imitation vanilla, on the other hand, is created from wood pulp, a by-product of the paper industry (they can make vanilla without a vanilla bean in sight!). So which vanilla is the better choice? According to a Cooks Illustrated taste test, “If you’re only buying one bottle of vanilla for cooking, baking, and making cold and creamy desserts, our top choice is a real extract. If you only use vanilla for baking, we have to admit there’s not much difference between a well-made synthetic vanilla and the real thing. Speaking to pastry chefs, we learned that many buy an arsenal of vanilla extracts, using cheaper imitation for baking and pure for confections made with moderate or no heat, such as puddings, pastry cream, and buttercream frosting.” Thanks for the tip @cooksillustrated! #rochesterny #irondequoitny #nutritioncareofrochester #atoznutrition #wellnesswednesday #vanilla #tastetest

U is for Ugli fruit! Ugli fruit is a Jamaican form of tangelo, a citrus fruit created by hybridizing a grapefruit, an orange, and a tangerine. Ugli fruits are easily peeled and may be eaten like a tangerine, or cut in half like a grapefruit. A serving of Ugli fruit contains only 45 calories and contributes 2 grams of dietary fiber, in addition to providing 70 percent of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C! Ugli fruit can be eaten by itself as a snack or can be added into a salad with avocado and shrimp. Have you ever heard of or tried Ugli fruit before? #atoznutrition #wellnesswednesday #rochesterny #irondequoit #ugli #uglifruit #RDN #registereddietitian #nutritionist #vitaminc #eatright
