WALNUT REDUCES DEPRESSION AND STRESS

walnuts
Eating just half a cup of walnuts reduced stress, anxiety and depression. There are several nutrients in walnuts that could be responsible for the reduced risk of depression and improved mood. The polyphenols in walnuts can help fight oxidative stress and inflammation. 

Walnuts are known to lessen the symptoms of depression, as they are the richest plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Walnuts are different from other tree nuts because of their greater antioxidant capacity, polyphenols and ALA content. 

Consuming a handful of walnuts reduces cortisol levels related to stress, especially in hypertensive people. Bedtime is a great time to eat walnuts because they have numerous compounds that are tied to healthy sleep patterns. 
Magnesium is an essential mineral that helps your body relax, improving sleep quality. Walnuts may help improve your shut-eye as they have high magnesium content. A 1-ounce serving contains 11% of your daily magnesium requirement.

Walnuts are packed with tryptophan, indirectly increasing serotonin levels. When these levels rise, we feel more relaxed, calm, and happy. Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, melatonin, and other vitamins and nutrients associated with mental and gut health. 

Walnuts are rich in neuro-supportive compounds including folate, vitamin E and polyphenols—all of which can be beneficial for mental health. 

In order to produce dopamine or the Happy Hormone, your body needs to break down an amino acid known as tyrosine, which is present in abundance in walnuts. Snacking on a handful of them during the day can up your dopamine levels and help you a great deal.

Walnuts are high in a compound called beta-sitosterol, and limited studies show that beta-sitosterol may have an antidepressant effect and a stabilizing effect on the stress hormone cortisol. 

Walnut consumption was associated with increased improvements in self-reported mental health and stress. It was also linked to improved sleep quality and metabolic biomarkers. An ounce (30 grams) of walnuts a day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease. 

The recommended serving size is a small handful or 1½ ounces (45 grams) a day. Human clinical trials have also suggested an association of walnut consumption with better cognitive performance and improvement in memory when compared to baseline in adults.

Walnuts also improves the levels of good cholesterol in body. Eating walnuts everyday poses little to no harm unless you have a food sensitivity, intolerance or allergy. If that is not the case, adding walnuts to your daily diet can be very beneficial.

CAUTION 
People who are allergic to nuts should not eat walnuts. If the person develops a rash or hives or difficulty breathing after eating walnuts, medical attention should be sought. Children should not consume pieces of nut, or they should be supervised while doing so, as this can lead to choking.
