Hello ladies,

Healthy information about Walnuts.

I would like to add a few points here..


1.Walnuts (just like any other nuts like almonds, pistachios etc) are very good source of fibre.

2. Just like almonds, walnuts help to reduce the bad cholesterol (LDL) level and reduce the risk of heart disease.

3. In addition walnuts are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E.

4. Nuts, in general do not help in reducing the weight. Instead substituting the healthy nuts like walnuts, almonds,pitachios,flax seeds etc in place of cookies, snacks and other junk foods help in controlling our weight.

5. This combined with diet and exercise is the key to maintain a healthy weight.

6. Since nuts are high in calories, it is better to take them in the place of cheese/meat etc. Always, moderation is the key.

7. We can use walnuts on salads, pizzas etc. Toasted walnuts taste excellent on pastas, breakfast cereals, puddings/payasams etc. Infact, we can snack on plain walnuts.

Cheers
Krithika

 

Walnuts are a very good source of omega 3 fatty acids which is good for a variety of reasons.
