According to the results of the research conducted by Harvard University for 32 years, it was stated that the consumption of nuts reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 25 percent and that the consumption of nuts in appropriate amounts is also important for health.
Ayşen Orhan Özer, one of the food engineers of Tuğba Kuruyemiş, who noted that nuts contain very useful nutrients and academic studies have proven the positive effects of consuming nuts at a certain rate on the heart, vascular and nervous system, said: “According to the results of the study conducted by Harvard University for 32 years, consumption of nuts reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases by about 25 percent. Experts recommend consuming hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios and peanuts twice a week because the beneficial oils in nuts open the cardiovascular pathways.”
“Like an omega store”
Noting that the benefits of nuts are too many to count, Food Engineer Ayşen Orhan Özer said, “Hazelnuts and almonds, known as a heart and vascular friendly food due to the omega 3 it contains, help lower blood pressure while preventing blood clotting and arteriosclerosis, and reduce the risk of heart disease in diabetics. Hazelnuts contain Omega 3 as well as B5, B9 and boron. Walnuts, a source of vitamin B6, play an important role in strengthening the immune system and preventing atherosclerosis. Cashew, in addition to having a blood pressure lowering feature due to the potassium it contains, ensures healthy functioning of the nerves and heart muscles. It is known that cashew, which also contains selenium, which protects the body from diseases, prevents the development of diabetes and is characterized as an antioxidant, is also rich in iron and vitamin D. Peanuts, which burn blood sugar with vitamin B1 and lower cholesterol with vitamin B3, are known for their mind-opening properties as well as their flavor.” He suggested that everyone from seven to seventy should consume nuts in certain proportions not only for pleasure and taste but also for health.
