Why Walnuts?
Why walnuts deserve a place in your day.
Walnuts are gaining a reputation for supporting heart, brain, gut, and cancer health — when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Heart Health
Walnuts provide ALA omega‑3s that can help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health. Regular intake may help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and maintain healthy blood pressure.
Brain Health
Antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats in walnuts may support memory and focus. Studies suggest walnuts can enhance reaction time and mental alertness throughout the day.
Gut Health
Fibre, omega‑3s, and polyphenols may help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a balanced microbiome and helping reduce digestive inflammation.
Cancer Health
Walnut polyphenols are transformed by gut microbes into compounds that may help protect cells. Research suggests a potential role in slowing progression of certain cancers, including colon cancer.
How much?
A handful (about 30g) of walnuts daily is an easy, tasty way to add plant-based goodness to meals, baking, or snacks.
