Health Benefits: Walnuts are one of the best plant sources of protein. They are rich in fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Nuts in general are also high in plant sterols and fat - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 fatty acids - the good fats) that have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. Walnuts, in particular, have significantly higher amounts of omega 3 fatty acids as compared to other nuts.
More than a decade of scientific evidence shows that incorporating walnuts in a healthy diet reduces the risk of heart disease by improving blood vessel elasticity and plaque accumulation. Walnuts have also been shown to aid in the lowering LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and the C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP was recently recognized as an independent marker and predictor of heart disease.
Suggested Use: Walnuts as a Healthy Menu Choice: In addition to being a delicious source of omega-3s, walnuts add quick, gourmet appeal and wonderful taste and texture to a wide range of dishes, from snacks and appetizers to salads and entrées. Their convenience and versatility make it easy to add a handful of walnuts to your diet everyday.
