Walnut Benefits
WALNUTS -
THE BEST OF THE BEST NUTS FOR BRAIN HEALTH!
Walnuts are the best nut for your brain health! The reason why is due to their super high concentration of the Omega-3 fatty acid called DHA. Studies show Omega 3's exhibit neuroprotective properties that protect the brain against degenerative diseases and neurological disorders.
What's even more interesting is there are other studies showing children having a higher intelligence due to their mother's increased intake of DHA during pregnancy. It is this knowledge that led Nadia to create foods for brain health for her two young boys in order to nourish them for their demanding, educational environment in their gifted school.
Benefits of DHA found in walnuts:
- a fundamental building block for the brain
- crucial for brain health in both adults and infants
- boosts mood
- improves cognition
- prevents cognitive decline caused by aging
To reap these benefits, you don't need much. One fourth of a cup of walnuts will deliver around 100% of the recommended Daily Value (DV) of DHA.
