✅BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL:⁣
Two servings of walnuts per week are associated with a 33% reduction in diabetes risk in 58,063 women aged 52–77 y in NHS (Sun et al., 2013). ⁣
⁣
🔥MAKES “BAD” CHOLESTEROL HARMLESS:⁣
After consuming a fatty meal, walnuts prevented LDL cholesterol from becoming oxidised. The researchers believe that this was partly due to the vitamin E analogue gamma tocopherol (EH et al., 2014).⁣
⁣
🛡SUPPORTS LONGEVITY:⁣
The main polyphenol in walnuts is pedunculagin, an ellagitannin. After consumption, ellagitannins are hydrolyzed to release ellagic acid, which is converted by gut microflora to urolithin A and other derivatives such as urolithins B, C, and D. These have SERIOUS anti-aging potential (Sánchez-González et al., 2017).⁣

💎INTERACTS WITH OUR GUT:⁣
The Human (!) Microbiome Is Able to Convert The PUFAs found in Walnuts into Cell-Protective vaccenic acid and conjugated linoleic acid (Bamberger et al., 2018). ⁣

💥TAKEAWAY:⁣
Clearly beneficial to human health. Possibly advantageous to use in the afternoon/evening since it also contains small amounts of melatonin. Live optimal my friends. ⁣
