Are Walnuts Good For You?

Answer Question

5 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Research does suggest that they are. English walnuts are particularly good as they are high in trace elements that are used as minerals in the body. They are particularly rich in phosphorus, zinc, copper, ion, potassium and vitamin E, and they are low in saturated fat.

    English walnuts also have twice as much omega-3 fatty acids as other types of walnut. It is thought that omega-3 fatty acids lower blood fat levels, reduce the risk of blood clots and lower blood pressure. This type of fatty acid is also found in large amounts in fish oils, but the type that occurs in walnuts is even better for health in people.

    Walnuts are also an excellent source of protein and have a substantial amount of fibre. They also taste good and can be used in savoury and sweet dishes and salads such as Waldorf salad.

      It is thought that Walnuts are extremely good for you, and if eaten at the end of every meal, they are thought to cut down the damage from any fatty foods you may have eaten. This is because walnuts tend to be rich in compounds that are known to reduce the hardening of the arteries. This helps to keep them flexible and it is recommended that you eat eight walnuts a day in order to have the maximum benefits.

      If you do choose to eat walnuts after every meal, it is thought that when the arteries harden, you are at a lesser risk of developing heart problems and from having a stroke. They can also help to cut out fatigue, they contain vitamins and minerals, and they can also help lower cholesterol, something which people are trying hard to do these days!

      Overall all nuts are good for you in some way or another, but walnuts are particularly good for your health!

        Walnuts are very good for you. They are good for your blood and they are a source of protien, which is a neccesary nutrient.
