Raw, with honey, in salads, desserts or appetizers, nuts are one of the foods that we must include in a healthy diet. In addition to being delicious, they have a multitude of nutritional properties that provide great health benefits:
▪︎They are low in carbohydrates, which helps control weight and blood sugar.
▪︎They are rich in proteins, easily absorbed minerals (magnesium, phosphorus and potassium) and trace elements (magnesium, copper and zinc), which strengthen the immune system and help good bone maintenance.
▪︎They have a large amount of insoluble fiber, which improves intestinal transit and prevents constipation.
▪︎They are rich in antioxidants, which prevent neurodegenerative diseases and cellular aging.
▪︎They have vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6, which allow obtaining energy from food, help maintain healthy hair, skin and nails, benefit the nervous system and enhance intellectual development.
▪︎They are rich in omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have a heart-healthy effect thanks to their anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiarrhythmic properties.
