BENEFIT OF WALNUTS

Improve Bone Strength

Walnuts are a good source of the mineral copper. Severe copper deficiency is associated with lower bone mineral density and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Walnuts contain a high amount of manganese. Manganese has been shown to prevent osteoporosis in combination with the minerals calcium and copper.

Magnesium, another mineral in walnuts, is important for bone formation as it helps with the absorption of calcium into the bone.
 

Aid weight loss

According to research published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, routine nut consumption is associated with higher levels of energy use while resting.

In trials that compared weight loss using diets that include or exclude nuts, the diets that included nuts in moderation showed greater weight loss.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that women who reported rarely eating nuts had a greater incidence of weight gain over an 8-year period than those who consumed nuts two times a week or more.

Anti-inflammatory properties
Nuts are suggested to boast anti-inflammatory properties due to having a high concentration of phenolic compounds. However, walnuts, in particular, are considered to be more anti-inflammatory in comparison to other tree nuts.

Firstly, research has shown walnuts to contain significant amounts of alpha-linolenic acid – often referred to as an anti-inflammatory fatty acid. Furthermore, walnuts are dense in ellagic acid, which has been shown to have similar benefits in research.

Prevent Cancer

Walnuts have the capability of controlling the growth of cancer cells in the body. The phenolic compounds, omega-3 fatty acids, gamma-tocopherol, and other antioxidants found in them recorded a control on human cancer cells, including breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.

Improve Heart Health

Due to the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the walnuts, they are very beneficial to the cardiovascular system. It has been found that eating just a few walnuts per day can help reduce the blood pressure, so those with high blood pressure take note! The omega-3 fatty acids are known to reduce the bad cholesterol in the body and encourage the production of the good cholesterol. This is again beneficial for the heart  

For Brain Health

The omega-3 fatty acids present in the walnuts are also good for the brain. Having food rich in omega-3 fatty acids keeps the nervous system working smoothly and improves your memory and focus. Omega-3 fatty acids coupled with iodine and selenium ensure optimum functioning of the brain. These nuts are known to treat cognitive disorders like dementia and epilepsy.

Improve sleep and reduces stress

Walnuts have melatonin, and this compound is said to be associated with better sleep patterns. Also, the omega-3 fatty acids keep the blood pressure low and help relieve stress.

BENEFITS OF WALNUT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND BABY

Aid Brain Development
Walnuts contain folate as well as omega-3. Both these nutrients primarily help develop the baby’s brain. Some people say if you take a close look at a walnut, you’d find it resembles two halves of the brain, which is why it is important for brain development. The truth in this myth may be debatable, but what’s known for sure, is that it does support rapid brain development.

Control Diabetes

People suffering from diabetes can have walnuts on a regular basis without any significant weight gain since they contain a high amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Researchers say that the intake of nuts is inversely proportional to the risk of developing type-II diabetes.

Control Weight

Walnuts are rich in proteins and fibres that give you a feeling of satisfaction and fullness during pregnancy and you stop overeating. Walnuts also kill your unhealthy food cravings for sugary foods, which may cause diabetes during pregnancy too. Therefore, you must eat walnuts during pregnancy.
