A small handful of nuts eaten daily can offer immediate protection against heart disease, according to recent research. Frequent consumption would offer long-term defense. Just four hours after consuming nuts or nut oil, participants' blood vessel flexibility and cholesterol levels significantly improved, according to research. This improvement is important for maintaining healthy blood flow.
Walnuts have an effect on serum cardiovascular risk factors, so we should all be consuming them regularly to protect against various forms of cardiovascular disease.
“And only by consuming a handful of walnuts or walnut oil for four days in a week you can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease,” said Dr. Penny Kris Etherton, professor of nutrition at Penn State University in Pennsylvania.
This study is the first of its kind to identify active constituents in walnuts that provide the greatest health benefits. And by eating a mere three tablespoons (51 g) of walnut oil can you improve the condition of your blood vessels in just 4 hours.
The oil proved to be especially beneficial for the endothelial cells– the cells that line the blood vessels and play an important role in their flexibility
Pretty amazing discovery isn’t it? The powerful medicinal properties of simple raw foods that we as humanity are now re-discovering are SO mind-blowing. It sure does remind me of that time the FDA claimed walnuts were “drugs”.
