Here’s what you didn’t know about walnuts!
One of the smaller, less-assuming superfoods, the humble walnut is often neglected when it comes to assessing the many health-boosting foods we eat.
Nuts are an amazing source of protein for non-meat eaters, but some (like walnuts) have even more health benefits than most of us are aware of, leading to their categorization as ‘Superfoods!’
Did you know these amazing benefits of walnuts?
Just one-quarter cup of walnuts provides more than 100 percent of the daily recommended value of plant-based omega-3 fats along with high amounts of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin.
Some believe that walnuts may help reduce not only the risk of prostate cancer but breast cancer as well.
Walnuts contain the amino acid l-arginine, which offers multiple vascular benefits to people with heart disease, or those who have increased risk for heart disease due to multiple cardiac risk factors.
Walnuts contain several unique and powerful antioxidants that are available in only a few commonly eaten foods.
They also have been proven to improve sperm quality, help with weight control, and offer support for brain health and type 2 diabetes.
