Walnuts are one of the healthiest foods you can eat regularly.
Why are they useful
Walnuts contain the most phenols of any nut. These are antioxidants that protect cells and organs from free radical damage. A 50-gram serving of walnuts contains more phenols than a glass of red wine or apple juice.
In addition, walnuts protect the body from age-related decline in mental function, Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments and brain diseases.
Walnuts are rich in compounds with powerful antioxidant effects. Including gamma tocopherol, flavonoids, phenolic acid and proanthocyanidins.
Walnuts are also rich in iodine, fiber and vegetable protein.
How many walnuts can you eat per day
