Health Benefits of Adding Walnuts

Salmon is a well-known component of a healthy diet, but let’s talk about how Walnuts are a super-nut packed with good fats and give your health a major boost.

Walnuts Contain Omega-3s

Walnuts are the only nut to contain Omega-3s. They have a significant amount of Alpha-linolenic acid which are plant-based omega-3s. They are essential fatty acids critical for the optimal functioning of multiple body processes.

Aging Gracefully

Research has shown that adding walnuts to your diet keeps your brain functioning at its best. They have also shown a decrease in the risk of age-related cognitive impairments like dementia, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Maintaining Weight

Walnuts may not be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about weight control due to their calorie and fat amount. But research shows that our body does not absorb most of the calories. Walnuts have also been shown to increase satiety, so when you eat walnuts, you will feel full for longer.

Gut Health

Walnuts are beneficial for gut health as they promote the growth of good bacteria. They are also gluten-free making them a safe food for Celiac Disease.

Anti-oxidants

Walnuts contain the most antioxidants than any other nut. Their antioxidant activity is due to the vitamin E, melatonin, and polyphenols they contain. Walnut-rich meals have been shown to prevent LDLs (bad cholesterol) from causing any damage thus preventing your arteries from atherosclerosis!

When to Avoid Walnuts

Walnuts are such a super food that avoiding them doesn’t make any sense, unless you’re allergic to them.

Consuming any kind of nuts when you have a tree nut allergy can be deleterious to your health. Always check labels on products for warnings before eating them.

Storing Walnuts

You must store walnuts the correct way. Although they are encased in shells they still tend to go bad.

Walnuts have a high-fat content thus they go rancid in warm temperatures and end up tasting bitter. They can also absorb smells, so if your walnuts give off an odor then it means they have gone bad and it’s time to throw them away.

You can store them (shelled or unshelled) in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.

So there you have it! Now you know the Walnuts.org Salmon Recipe and the numerous health benefits it can provide you. Do give it a try at home and let us know how it turned out!
