The health benefits of cashews are extremely valuable, here are the reasons you should add this nutritious nut to your diet and your family:
1. Prevent heart disease
Cashews are a good source of healthy fats, which are essential for the body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and produce important fatty acids for brain development. These healthy fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They are good for the heart and help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) if consumed in appropriate amounts, even in diabetics.
2. Enhance eye health
We all know carrots are good for the eyes, but surprisingly, cashews are the same. They contain high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as antioxidants when consumed regularly. These compounds protect the eyes from minor damage (which can turn blind in the elderly) and may even help reduce cataracts.
3. Help muscles and nervous system healthy
Cashews are rich in magnesium, a substance that is important for the growth of bones, muscles, tissues and organs. Magnesium helps maintain blood pressure, boost the immune system, maintain nerve function and keep bones strong. Magnesium deficiency leads to high blood pressure, migraines, aches and pains.
In addition, for women after menopause, cashews can bring them more comfortable sleep and more comfortable at night.
