“Cashews are a great source of nutrition and often referred to as a ‘super nut’. It is extremely rich in copper, manganese, magnesium, and tryptophan, and is a good source of many other essential nutrients like protein, iron, selenium, phytochemical and antioxidants. Like fruits and vegetables, nuts should be included in a healthy daily diet. Enjoying a handful of nuts (30-50g) regularly may reduce your risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes and can help with weight management. So remember to eat two serves of fruit, five serves of veggies and handful of nuts every day. Nuts for life and Stay healthy.”
Yes, It is! Cashews are ripe with proanthocyanidins, a class of flavanols that actually starve tumors and stops cancer cells from dividing. Studies have also shown that cashews can reduce your colon cancer risk. Their high copper content also endows the seed with the power to eliminate free radicals and they are also good sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants that protect us from heart disease and cancer. So that is one big reason to fill your tins with this super nuts.
By preventing calcium from rushing into nerve cells and activating them, magnesium keeps our nerves relaxed and thereby our blood vessels and muscles too. Too little magnesium means too much calcium can gain entrance to the nerve cell, causing it to send too many messages, and leading to too much contraction, insufficient magnesium leads to higher blood pressure, muscle tension, migraine headaches, soreness and fatigue. Not surprisingly, studies have demonstrated that magnesium helps diminish the frequency of migraine attacks, lowers blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks. Grab a pack and escape to the serene beauty of nature and relax.
Data collected on 80,718 women from the Nurses’ Health Study demonstrates that women who eat at least an ounce of nuts each week, such as cashews, have a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones.
