nutritive value
Walnut can be called the "king" of oxidation resistance and has high nutritional value. The American Dietetic Association advises people to eat walnuts two or three times a week, especially middle-aged and elderly people and menopausal women, because the arginine, oleic acid and antioxidants contained in walnuts are quite beneficial to protect the cardiovascular system and prevent coronary heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
Modern medical research believes that phospholipids in walnuts have a good health care effect on brain nerves. Walnut oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis. Walnut kernel contains zinc, manganese, chromium and other indispensable trace elements. The contents of zinc and manganese are decreasing in the process of aging, and chromium can promote glucose utilization, cholesterol metabolism and protect cardiovascular system. The effect of walnut kernel on relieving cough and asthma is also very obvious. Winter has excellent curative effect on patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma. It can be seen that eating walnuts regularly can not only strengthen the body, but also resist aging. Some people often take tonics. In fact, it is really good to eat a few walnuts every morning and evening, which is often better than taking tonic.
