Nutty AND Nice: Your Body and Smile Both Love Nuts

The benefits of nuts go beyond your taste buds. Here’s why your body and smile are nuts about nuts:

Nuts for Your Health

As long as you’re not allergic, snacking on nuts is a win-win for any diet. They’re packed with protein, fiber, essential fats and a whole lot of vitamins.

• Almonds and walnuts are full of calcium and vitamin E, which benefit skin and bones.
• Brazil nuts help with thyroid function and heart health

…And Your Smile!

From protein to potassium, many minerals found in nuts support a healthy smile too!

• Protein supports tooth structure and development
• Phosphorous strengthens tooth enamel
• Magnesium helps enamel while resisting decay
• Zinc strengthens tissue connectivity
