Personal Wellness Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants – Walnuts are an excellent source of antioxidants that can help fight oxidative damage in your body, including damage due to “bad” LDL cholesterol, which promotes atherosclerosis.
- Excellent plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids – Walnuts are significantly higher in omega-3 fat than other nuts, providing 2.5 grams per 1-ounce (28-gram) serving. Omega-3 fat from plants, including walnuts, is called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fat that helps reduce heart disease risk.
- Reduces inflammation – Inflammation is at the root of many diseases and can be caused by oxidative stress. The polyphenols in walnuts can help fight this oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Promotes a healthy gut – Eating walnuts not only nourishes you but also the beneficial bacteria that live in your gut. This promotes the health of your gut and may help reduce disease risk.
- Reduces cancer risk – Urolithins in walnuts have hormone-like properties that enable them to block hormone receptors in your body that may help reduce your risk of hormone-related cancers, specifically breast and prostate cancers.
- Helps manage diabetes – Eating walnuts can help control type 2 diabetes and reduce your risk of the disease, as the nut may help control your weight. Walnuts might have more direct effects on blood sugar control as well.
