4. Walnuts are high in protein, vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, trace minerals, lecithin and oils. Compared with other nuts, which typically contain a high amount of monounsaturated fats, walnuts are unique because the fats in them are primarily polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and are the only nut with a significant amount of alpha-linolenic acid. Moreover, walnuts have insignificant amounts of sodium and are cholesterol free.

Ingredients for Cholesterol free Omelet :
To prepare 2 omelet
4 egg whites

2 tsp of water
2 tsp of olive oil
A small dash of turmeric (optional for color, great for health)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Filling of your choice for the omelet. But I am presenting simple omelet without any filling recipe.
To prepare Cholesterol free Omelet :
1. Mix all the ingredients lightly without making the egg whites frothy.
2. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add 1 tsp of olive oil. Pour the 1/2 mixture in the pan.
3. As the eggs sets, lift the outside edges with a spatula to let the runny eggs slip under. Continue to cook till the eggs are set. Fold in half and serve.
4. Repeat the same steps for second omelet too.
Health Benefits :
One of the biggest differences between egg yolk omelets and egg white omelets is a high amount of fat in the egg yolk version. Almost all of the fat found in an egg is located in the yolk. Egg yolks have also be found to contain high amounts of dietary cholesterol, which can lead to the development of a number of serious health conditions that can be life threatening. While there are certain medications that can be used to lower cholesterol, the best way to fight high cholesterol levels is to avoid their consumption altogether.
