Walnuts can reduce depression

They are rich in fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Nuts in general are also high in plant sterols and fat - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 fatty acids - the good fats) that have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. Walnuts, in particular, have significantly higher amounts of omega 3 fatty acids as compared to other nuts. More than a decade of scientific evidence shows that incorporating walnuts in a healthy diet reduces the risk of heart disease by improving blood vessel elasticity and plaque accumulation. Walnuts have also been shown to aid in the lowering LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and the C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP was recently recognized as an independent marker and predictor of heart disease. Walnuts are wonderful. I love to add them to my salads and in my brownies. They add extra flavor and are extremely beneficial to our health.

Yes I have heard that too - that is why fish is also so good for you! (because of the Omega3).

Oh wow..now I have one more reason to grab more walnuts:)

Wow.. That's amazing. It's time to grab a box of Ferro Rocher chocolates :) Any idea about the cholesterol effects of Walnut though? Most of the nuts are a rich source of oil, so consumption should be low rite?

hey there thanks for your suggesstion on this as i really need it. i am always depressed. i will surely try it out. thak you

I don't really like walnuts, but that's really good to know. I'll start eating other foods with omega3's in them. And maybe I'll overcome my dislike of nuts.
