Scientists in Boston found the following benefits:
1 Reduced levels of bad “LDL” cholesterol (similar to the effects of taking a statin if seventy five grams are eaten daily over a four month period)
2 Reduction in “oxidative stress” – a process which results in clogged arteries
3 Helps beat cancer and ageing due to their high antioxidant content.
Other benefits include:
1 High in fibre
2 High in Essential fatty acids
3 High in protein
4 Rich source of B vitamins and vitamin E
5 Contain minerals iron, calcium, copper, zinc, selenium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium
If such a dose is to be eaten daily one needs to watch overall calorific intake as nuts are relatively high in calories.
