Health Benefits of Walnuts
They contain zinc, selenium, copper, omega 3 fatty acids, potassium, vitamin E, magnesium, B vitamins and protein. Walnuts contain no cholesterol or trans fat, although they do contain high amounts of fat.
They actually contain higher amounts of omega 3 than a piece of salmon.
If you want the walnut benefits but not the fat, just eat a small amount everyday, around 7 walnuts is more than enough. In fact, if you do consume them on a daily basis, they can actually help keep you from gaining weight.
Walnuts also contain a high amount of melatonin, which is great of helping give you a good nights sleep.
They are a great snack to have, instead of reaching for some sugary sweet.
Some people may have a problem with eating raw nuts, and it can be very beneficial to soak walnuts before eating them, as it is easier on your digestion.
By soaking them in warm water, not only helps make them easier to digest, the nutrients in the nuts are much more easily absorbed as well.
For beauty on the outside, you can give yourself a walnut powder body scrub, or a walnut shell body scrub.
They grow on walnut trees, and have been around for centuries and are great added to salads, on their own, in bread or anything else you can think of.
