Apurwa Amit

Eating dry fruits is always beneficial for health. Whenever the name of dry fruits comes, the first name that comes to mind is cashew nuts and almonds, but apart from cashew nuts and almonds, walnuts are also a superfood that has a treasure of health hidden in it.

Ayurveda expert Acharya Balkrishna has told the hidden benefits of walnuts.

According to Acharya Balkrishna, walnut is a dry fruit that reduces the cholesterol level in the blood and removes stomach related problems.

He said consumption of walnut helps in better digestion and burns more calories. Along with this, weight can also be reduced.

Walnuts are packed with essential nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins (like vitamin E), and minerals (such as magnesium and phosphorus).

Walnuts contain antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds that help reduce inflammation in the body, which can lower the risk of chronic diseases.

The omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts are beneficial for brain health, potentially improving cognitive function and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
