The advantages of nuts

As we well know, nuts provide great benefits. Many of these are linked to the supply of nutrients that benefit our health. Some of the nutrients they contain are:   - Alpha-linolenic acid. For example, in walnuts, this omega-3 fat alleviates arthritis and lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes. - Ellagic acid. Walnuts are a good source of this antioxidant compound that inhibits the growth of cancer cells. - Plant sterols. They are very abundant in pistachios and help against certain forms of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. - Potassium. It is abundant in pistachios and can decrease hypertension and the risk of stroke. - Resveratrol. It is present in peanuts, and this phytochemical may prevent cancer, high cholesterol, and strokes. - Saponins. These anti-cancer phytochemicals can boost immunity and promote good blood sugar and cholesterol levels. - Selenium. Found in Brazil nuts, they are a rich source of this powerful antioxidant, which helps prevent cancer, some eye disorders, and heart diseases. - Vitamin E. The vast majority of nuts are among the best sources of this antioxidant vitamin, which can help prevent cardiovascular damage and cataracts.
