Walnuts are great for your skin and are the best nut for brain health. I like to eat them by myself as a quick snack, add them to muffins, or add them to my oatmeal — they are filling and great for energy. If you have more ideas on how you eat them, please do share!
Take a look at how walnuts benefit your skin:
🍂Walnuts are excellent sources of essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are important to retaining cell hydration. (They’re called “essential” because our bodies can’t produce them on their own.) Omega-3 fatty acids can help skin cells attract moisture from the air, which helps improve moisture retention in your skin.
🍂The omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties. (Inflammation is a built-in defense mechanism activated within your body to fight off foreign bacteria, viruses, irritants, and injuries. Some examples of inflammation in the skin are rashes, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.)
🍂Walnuts have high concentrations of B and E vitamins, both powerful antioxidants, free-radical fighters which help skin repair itself. Fewer free radicals prevent the decline of your skin’s resilience and texture which helps with fewer lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
🍂Vitamin B, in particular, is responsible for boosting skin health by keeping age-related fine lines and wrinkles away.
🍂Walnuts are also a good source of essential fats, as well as zinc, vitamin C, selenium, and protein — nutrients that keep skin healthy.
