Not to eat walnut- when?

Nutritional values of walnuts

The history of walnuts can be traced back to ancient Persia, where they were once meant for royalty Walnuts have been considered valuable throughout history, but why?

Although walnuts are high in calories, they are also extremely nutritious with a variety of health benefits:

1. Heart health

Walnuts are a great source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for reducing inflammation. In fact, it is the only nut significantly high in these omega-3 fatty acids. Their anti-inflammatory compounds may reduce the risk of heart disease.

2. Brain health

Studies have shown that the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory polyphenols (compounds) found in walnuts may improve brain function and slow mental decline that occurs with aging. Cognitive functions include your memory and ability to think.

3. Gut health

Bacteria and microbes in your intestines and gut are also essential to your health. Research shows walnuts can improve gut health. In a clinical trial, adults who ate walnuts every day had healthier gut bacteria.

4. Cancer prevention

Microbes in your gut take compounds found in walnuts and produce urolithin compounds. These urolithins may help lower risk for certain cancers. Research is still being done to fully understand walnuts' potential role in cancer prevention.

To maximize the health benefits, look for raw, unsalted walnuts. You can eat them alone as a snack or add them to your oatmeal in the morning. While walnuts have plenty of health benefits, it's still important to not overeat.
