How Nuts Can Aid Weight Loss

I was told as a child that 7 peanuts contain the same amount of fat as that of a roast dinner! Now as an adult, I’m not sure that fact is accurate, however it is true that there is a lot of fat and calories found in nuts. Believe it or not though, nuts and seeds play an important role in the health of out bodies and can even help us lose weight.



The reason that they are so good for us is that they contain healthy fat, not artery clogging saturated fat. In a similar way to avocados, they provide the body with the unsaturated fat that it needs to run at optimum performance. Anything eaten in excess however will cause weight gain, and nuts are no exception, but when eaten in moderation they are an excellent source of protein, fibre and minerals including magnesium and copper. Almonds in particular are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals and research has shown they hold tremendous ‘super powers’ for the body by staving off illness and disease.

It is important that the nuts consumed are in their natural form however. Salted or dry roasted or any other treated form of nut should be avoided as the processes used in producing them include the addition of unhealthy saturated fat and salt, both of which are bad for our health and our bodies.

At Baldwin’s we supply a range of organic nuts and seeds guaranteed to give your body a boost and help it stay healthy. The range of infinity foods we supply have even been certified by the soil association. They are the perfect crisp alternative, both satisfying and tasty to eat. Why don’t you give them a try for a few weeks and see how you feel. Whoever told me that they were as fattening as a roast dinner was off base - has anyone else ever believed something that was completely false!?

Organic Food

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, sewage sludge, ionizing radiation or additives. Yuck! Who would want to eat food that contains even one of the items in that list, let alone all.

With nasties such as these lurking amongst your tomatoes, is it little wonder that since the early 1990’s, the organic food industry has seen growth rates of around 20% per year. A report by the UK’s Soil Association shows that $3.7 billion was spent on organic produce in 2006 which was a 20% growth from the year before. It now accounts for 1-2% of all food sold worldwide which is a figure that is set to continue.


Traditionally, organic food has been grown on small family run farms which perhaps explains its scarcity. With more and more people discovering the dangers and problems that can occur when our food is exposed to chemical and man-made substances, the demand has increased and even the supermarkets now carry a range of organic produce. Studies that have been carried out in the past have provided possible links between the use of pesticides in our food and cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's and some birth defects.

Here at Baldwin’s we carry the very best organic food and produce, Infinity food. With Infinity food, you can be sure you are ingesting only 100% natural food, with not a pesticide or genetically modified crop in sight.

The levels of nutrients contained within organic food are also allegedly much higher, with up to 50% more vitamins and minerals than in intensively reared produce. Logic dictates that a crop that has been sprayed extensively with a man-made substance to prevent insects or make it grow faster will not be as rich in vitamins and minerals than a crop that has been left to grow in a natural way with simple good old fashioned water and sunshine!

Why don’t you try something from our range of infinity food, and see if you don’t notice the difference. Don’t forget to come back here and tell us what you think. Can you notice the difference between an organic apple and a non-organic apple? Many people, once they’ve tried organic food cannot go back due to the sheer increase in quality and taste they experience. We want to know if this has happened to you!
