Walnuts prevents heart disease: Handful each day can reduce cholesterol | Health | Life & Style | Daily Express

Estudo: Walnuts and Healthy Ageing (WAHA) study

Citando:

"Just one-and-a-half ounces of the nuts, high in polyunsaturated fats, can boost friendly bacteria in the gut which reduce inflammation and cholesterol - both of which contribute to heart disease.

They also reduce hungry and increased feeling full.

Every 28 grammes (1oz) of walnuts contains 13 grammes of polyunsaturated fat and they are the only nut with high levels of plant-based omega-3 fatty acid with 2.5 grammes per ounce serving."
