Healthy Nut |
| Walnuts
not only taste good, but they provide essential nutrients and
are cholesterol free… Their positive affect on the heart
can be especially attributed to the high content of alpha linolenic
acid. Among natural nourishment, walnuts feature the highest
concentration of these essential Omega 3 fatty acids: for every
100g of edible mass, they have 7g. The protective function of
walnuts on the heart is also supported by vitamin E. |
 |
In its role as a captor of
free radicals, vitamin E increases the immune system performance
and actively aids in protecting cells. Vitamin E protects cells
from attacks by free radicals by neutralizing them.

| Furthermore,
walnuts are ideal for the nervous system due it its content
of B vitamins. These vitamins support essential brain functions,
prevent mood swings and lapses in concentration. If you feel
tired or stressed out, a walnut snack will help bring your gray
cells back to their feet in no time! |

| A
daily handful of walnuts |
| “Eat
a handful of walnuts each day and your blood’s cholesterol
level will fall!” This tip is from Dr. Emilio Ros, Study
Head at the Clinic Barcelona. In cooperation with Dr. Joan Sabaté,
professor at the University of Loma Linda in California, Dr.
Ros has been conducting research for several years to discover
a natural method of preventing the number one cause of death
in industrial countries: heart disease. |
|
For six weeks, participants
in the Barcelona study found out how easy it was to switch to
daily healthy eating for the heart.
For these participants, scientists developed walnut Mediterranean
cooking, which was not only delicious and varied, but also easy
to prepare! |

| Walnuts protect the heart |
The reason: walnuts assist in
lowering cholesterol levels. They positively effect the content
of “bad” LDL cholesterol in the blood. This is partially
responsible for arteriosclerosis, one of the most common causes
for cardiovascular disease. The Barcelona study researchers
discovered the positive effects of healthy eating for the heart.
The results of the study can be found in the The
Walnut Diet |
