If you're concerned about nutrition and want to find easy ways to be healthier, one of the best things you could do is eat nuts because they're loaded with vitamins and minerals. They're easy to take with you wherever you go (On a trip, to work, to school, etc.) because they do not need to be prepared or washed. You just put them in a little bag and off you go. Nuts are super healthy!
My favorite out of all the nuts is walnuts and, thankfully, they're one of the healthiest nuts. I put together an info sheet with all of the walnut nutrition facts. It includes a list of all the vitamins and minerals found in a single 115 gram serving of walnuts and why those vitamins and minerals are important for your health (beside each vitamin and mineral is the % recommended daily intake):
