Eating a high-fiber diet —which may include nuts and seeds—may reduce the risk of diverticular disease. Also, you can certainly eat too many seeds. Because they contain a concentrated source of fat and calories, it is best to enjoy them in small amounts—one-eighth to one-quarter cup, three or four times a week.

Nuts & Seeds are a great source of natural protein. Trail mix that's loaded with candy bits or sugar-sweetened dry fruit will offer more empty calories that don't balance out in terms of nutritional benefits. They have various impressive health benefits and can even help you lose weight.
