National Nut Day

National Nut Day is Sunday, October 22 and Nutt So Ruff is celebrating because it’s not only a great snack but it’s also great for your skin.

National Nut Day

Yes, Sunday October 22 is National Nut Day and there are so many ways to enjoy nuts on this awesome day.  Here are some of my favorites:

• Eat them raw
• Make granola and top your yogurt with it
• Add them to your oatmeal or even your salads
• Make some homemade trail mix, which is super easy.
• Use your Nutt So Ruff scrub bar(s), which contain crushed and powdered nuts!

Health benefits

Nuts have so many health benefits, which is why National Nut Day is so great.  Here are the biggest health benefits by eating / using nuts:

• Fiber – we definitely do not get enough fiber in our diets.
• Protein – this helps your blood sugar so that you don’t dip too much.  Keep your blood sugar steady and feel better throughout the day.
• Iron – for those of us that could use some, especially during ‘that’ time of the month.
• Folate – something many women may be short of.
• Nuts are great for skin

My 2 favorite nuts

I actually have 2 favorite nuts and since it is National Nut Day, I’m going to enjoy both today.  They are:

1. Almonds
2. Brazil Nuts

Almonds

You know Nutt So Ruff loves almonds and that’s why it’s one of our ingredients in our Nutt So Ruff scrub bars.  It’s loaded with vitamin E which is so beneficial to skin.

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts have selenium and the benefits of eating selenium are many.  A few are that they can help your skin and they can fight free radicals.  Score!

Nuts are great for skin

Because nuts contain both Vitamin E and selenium, they are great for skin.  They can help fight against free radical damage and inflammation – all things that contribute to acne.  So grab a handful of nuts on National Nut Day and then grab your Nutt So Ruff scrub bar and exfoliate.  Don’t forget to exfoliate according to your skin type.
