WALNUT ANTIOXIDANTS Your brain is an amazing powerhouse for your body. It controls so many functions and to do so, it also requires so many resources.  At rest, up to 20% of your metabolism is due to brain activity alone.  Now imagine when you’re having a deep thought, a conversation, or doing anything physical! Your brain's high metabolic rate creates a lot of reactive (and potentially damaging) free radicals that your body naturally counteracts with antioxidant compounds, to achieve a nice healthy balance. However, as we age, that balance can tip more toward oxidation (i.e. free radical damage) and inflammation. This is where some of the cell damage stems from. And this is why consuming antioxidants from whole food sources, like walnuts, is so important! 2. NEURO-DEGENERATIVE DISEASESMany of the brain diseases linked with older age (e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, etc.) seem to be associated with long-term exposure to oxidation and inflammation.  These two brain busters can eventually lead to brain cell damage and can negatively affect learning, memory, decision-making, and motor function. You probably wouldn't be surprised to find out that many other diseases are also linked to oxidation and inflammation, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It now makes sense why we see such a correlation between these diseases and brain-related diseases. Studies have found that middle-aged and older adults who eat more nuts seem to have a higher cognitive function and a slower decline in cognitive function over the years! Walnuts have also been shown to be heart-healthy, and heart health is associated with brain health. When you reduce your risk factors for heart disease, you also reduce your risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and cognitive impairment. So, nutritious foods like raw walnuts, that are full of brain-loving fats and also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, have a big role to play in reducing the risk and progression of many chronic and debilitating diseases of both the brain and body. In spite of its excellent brain booster properties, it also has lots of more benefits like 1. It is good for keeping your heart healthy and lowering the cholesterol levels - EPA present in walnut is used as a prescription medicine to reduce triglyceride levels. EPA can prevent the blood from clotting easily. 2. Walnuts help in building resistance for insulin, control blood glucose levels and lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 3. May Help Lower Blood Pressure 4.  Help prevent cancer: its Omega 3 fatty acid, phytosterol and antioxidants which not only prevent the growth of tumours but also reduce the risk of developing breast and prostate cancer. 5. Help with weight-loss: Eating walnuts makes you feel full, which reduces appetite and helps with weight management.6. Eating walnuts during pregnancy helps in reducing the symptoms of nausea and in proper brain development in children. But it should be in small quantity. 7. Walnuts work wonders for the hair; they're rich in biotin, prevent hair fall, improve hair texture and strengthen them. 8. Walnuts prevent ageing because of their antioxidant properties. ---------------------------------------------------- This is Dr Vandana Saraf, she has been practising and teaching Ayurved for the last 15 years. and committed to serving Ayurved for whole humanity for living a healthy and disease-free life. -------------------------------------------- About this channel:- This channel is committed to serving Ayurved for the beneficence of humanity.
