Nutrition and health benefits of walnuts
Rich source of essential fats
Walnuts have a high polyunsaturated fat content (72% of total fat), with smaller amounts of monounsaturated fat and very low levels of ‘unhealthy’ saturated fat (6% of total fat).
Excellent source of omega-3 fats
Walnuts contain significant amounts of omega-3 fats, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid. Research has shown that a handful of walnuts each day can reduce inflammation, an important factor in the development of chronic disease such as heart disease.
Helps weight management
Although high in fat, research has found that eating walnuts (and other nuts) maintains body weight as measured by BMI.1–4, 10 One study found eating around a handful of walnuts a day did not result in weight gain.
Keeps blood vessels healthy
Eating just 40 grams of walnuts a day counteracts the inflammatory effects on blood vessels that occur after eating a fatty meal. Eating 40–65 grams of walnuts each day as part of a low-fat, plant-based diet significantly improved relaxation of the blood vessel walls, keeping blood vessels healthy.
Rich in antioxidants
Polyunsaturated fats are susceptible to going rancid, so Mother Nature gave walnuts a big dose of antioxidants to protect them. Walnuts contain a number of different antioxidants including: ellagic acid, ellagitannins and proanthcyanidins which contribute to their overall high antioxidant capacity.
Improves blood cholesterol
Recent studies found that 40–100g of walnuts a day can lower both total and ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol levels without effecting ‘good’ HDL cholesterol. In addition they found that walnut enriched diets raised antioxidant capacity and improved inflammatory markers, with no adverse effects on body weight measured as BMI.
