Walnuts were
one of the first foods and date back to around the time of 7,000 BC. Walnuts
are rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and contain the largest amount of a plant- based omega-3 source called
alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
“Walnuts are
‘polyphenomenal,’” says Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, RD, author of The SuperFoodsRx
Diet. “Most likely it’s the synergy of all the substances in walnuts—namely the
phytonutrients, micronutrients, ALA, and fiber—that allow walnuts to provide an
array of health benefits.”
Eating
Walnuts can help reduce one’s risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer,
cognitive impairment, and male infertility.
