You know how important Omega-3 fatty acids are, right? They are said to normalize the cholesterol levels, promote a healthy heart and many more. Luckily, there’s one type of nuts that is actually
full of omega-3. Walnuts, of course!
In fact, the brain-like nuts can also give all the energy we need. In case you don’t believe it, read
this article! Otherwise, let’s see
5 more health benefits of eating walnuts:
- Act as anti-depressants
However strange it may seem, walnuts are definitely a thing to turn to when being in a
depressive mode. Actually, eating those nuts might even
prevent such a condition. There are lots of researches that prove that low levels of omega-3 fatty acids can be crucial for us. In fact, this makes sense because omega-3 acids are known to be good for the brain. And what a feeling, emotion or condition would it be, if it doesn’t come from the brain!?
- Prevent prostate and breast cancer
OK, let’s forget about the fatty acids for a moment and think of the other things walnuts are full of! Well, we can guarantee those are
super rich in antioxidants as well. That’s why they are thought to slow down prostate enlargement processes and reduce the risk of getting cancer. What’s more, they can also be beneficial when it comes to breast cancer.
- Improve memory
In those hard times when we are so busy and always
on the go, we tend to forget a lot of things. Did you take your wallet today as you left for work? Or how about
“Oh, Gosh, I totally forgot to send the documents to….” These sure sound like you (at least from time to time), right? Well, good news is walnuts are actually thought to improve memory functions. Again, that’s thanks to the irreplaceable omega-3 and 6 fatty acids!
- Benefit the heart
In the very beginning we mentioned that walnuts might be a good source against various heart diseases. Studies from USA, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Israel show that
just 2 to 3 portions a day might significantly reduce bad cholesterol levels. This means
less chance of coronary heart disease! So, in case you have such a problem within the family, you might think of eating more walnuts.
- Control the weight
Not only are
“the brain-boosting nuts” great for the internal organs, but they might also help you control your weight. After all, the outside look is just as important as the inner one, right? Walnuts are super rich in fibers, proteins and fats, which means they can make you feel site for a very long time.
