the joy of walnuts
ah, walnuts! the sweet and delicious nut that looks like a brain... this is one of my favorite foods to munch on each day. walnuts are full of omega-3 fatty acids--which help reduce inflammation and help reduce the risk of many diseases. they also help lower cholesterol! walnuts are also a good source of antioxidants--providing health benefits against aging, cancer, and neurological diseases! they are a good source of vitamin e which is good for your skin (amongst other things). they also have many of the important b vitamins and minerals (such as zinc, calcium, and potassium).
you can see why i love walnuts and make sure to eat them on a daily basis! they are so packed with nutrients, how could i resist them?
i have mostly just been eating these raw, but i am now planning on coming up with a handful of recipes for my walnuts to be a part of. check back soon for pics of these!
