We're Wacky for Walnuts
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, a special type of protective fat the body cannot manufacture.
They are also a very good source of manganese and copper. In addition, walnuts contain the antioxidant phytochemical, ellagic acid.
Adding walnuts to your diet can be an important step in improving your cardiovascular health. Walnuts' concentration of omega-3s (a quarter-cup provides 90.8% of the daily value for these essential fats) has many potential health benefits ranging from cardiovascular protection, to the promotion of better cognitive function, to anti-inflammatory benefits helpful in asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. In addition, walnuts contain an antioxidant compound called ellagic acid that supports the immune system and appears to have several anticancer properties.
