4 Reasons to Eat Walnuts If you want to promote heart health, go nuts - in particular, walnuts. A mainstay of my dietary recommendations, walnuts are an excellent choice when it comes to healthy snacking. Walnuts are good sources of: - Omega-3 fatty acids, protective fats that promote cardiovascular health, help maintain optimal cognitive function and tone down inflammation.
- Heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
- Ellagic acid, an antioxidant compound that helps support a healthy immune system.
- L-arginine, an essential amino acid that helps support blood pressure health.
Try adding walnuts to your hot or cold breakfast, eating them as a snack, using walnut oil in salad dressings and adding to pie crusts for a tasty nutritional boost.
