Use walnut in your daily meals

Walnuts for better health.
www.pabahealthcare.blogspot.com
As per the latest research using walnut in your daily meals will reduce the risk of heart disease and will also help in lowering of bad cholesterol(LDL) and C reactive protein.
When you are having a meal that is
high in saturated fats, having a
handful of raw walnuts can limit the
ability of the harmful fat to
damage arteries.
Walnuts contain less than four grams
of saturated fats per 50 grams.
However, all nuts are high in calories,
so, having them in moderation is
essential.
Walnuts are rich in antioxidants,
omega-3 fats and alpha linoleic
acid.
Add it to your daily diet
- Begin the day in a healthy way
with chopped walnuts in your
breakfast cereal.
- Avoid meat in your salads and
instead, sprinkle a handful of fresh
walnuts on it.
- Give the sausages, eggs and
processed meat a miss. Get your
protein from roasted walnuts!
Look for the fresh nut
- Shelled walnuts should be brittle.
Avoid the rubbery ones. Opt for the
ones with a darker skin.
Store them right
- No one likes a rancid walnut. So
store them unshelled in the
refrigerator for a couple of months.
