Cashews – The nuts which grow outside the cashew-apple fruit.
Stranger than that, these nuts grow at the bottom of the fruit.
Have you seen any other fruits growing in this trend ???
Cashew-nuts were first grown from Brazil, gradually they became world-wide famous due to their unique characteristics.
Here are some benefits of Cashew nuts:
1. Cardio-protective foods
Concerned about your heart ??? Then have some cashew nuts !!!
Oleic acid – Unsaturated Fatty Acid promotes healthy heart.
Foods with mono-unsaturated fat reduce tri-glyceride levels in blood, especially in people suffering from cardio-vascular problems and diabetes.
Grab some cashews twice a week to avoid the risk of coronary heart disease.
2. Relax yourself
Cashews are arginine-rich sources. This amino-acid gets converted to nitric oxide. This oxide helps in the relaxation of blood vessels.
3. Kill the cancer cells
Bio-active molecules – proanthocyanidins neutralize the free radicals and prevent cancers.
This group of molecules come under flavonoids which are the famous phytochemicals well-known for their anti-carcinogenic nature.
4. Copper-rich
Nuts are copper-rich food sources. Copper is required for iron metabolism, enzymatic activities, development of tissues and melanin production in human body.
5. Maintaining your weight
Nuts can lower the chance of gaining the weight when compared to other calorie-rich sources.
A long-term survey says that people who ate nuts frequently were 31% less likely to put on weight than the non-consumed set.
6. Ca & Mg foods
Calcium & Magnesium are important minerals required for the maintenance of cellular activities.
Plenty of Calcium and Magnesium can be gained by eating a handful of cashew nuts.
7. Good for brain
Nuts are memory-boosting foods due to high amounts of Vitamin-E.
In addition to that, cashews contain folic acid, a B vitamin which contributes to neural health.
Also, nuts are rich in minerals like selenium, zinc, potassium, etc., and vitamins like B1, B2, B5, B6. Now go and have some cashews.
They are healthy and taste great as well !!!
