Walnuts<\/strong> are made up of 65% fat and small amounts of\u00a0protein\u00a0(only about 15%). They are low in\u00a0carbs, most of which consist of\u00a0fiber.<\/li>\n
Walnuts contain about 65% fat by weight (2).<\/li>\n
Like other nuts, most of the energy (calories) in walnuts comes from fat. This makes them an energy-dense, high-calorie food.<\/li>\n
However, even though walnuts are rich in fat and calories, studies indicate that they do not increase the risk of obesity when replacing other foods in the diet (3,\u00a04).<\/li>\n

Walnuts are also richer than most other nuts in polyunsaturated fats. The most abundant one is an omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Health Benefits of Walnuts<\/h2>\n
\n
Eating walnuts has been linked to a number of health benefits<\/a>. These include a reduced risk of heart disease, possible cancer prevention and improved brain function.<\/p>\n
Rare and Powerful Antioxidants<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Antioxidants are crucial to your health, as they are believed to help control how fast you age by combating free radicals, which are at the heart of age-related deterioration.<\/p>\n
Walnuts contain several unique and powerful antioxidants that are available in only a few commonly eaten foods. This includes the quinone juglone, the tannin tellimagrandin, and the flavonol morin.<\/p>\n
Walnuts contain antioxidants that are so powerful at free-radical scavenging that researchers called them “remarkable,”\u00a0and research has shown that walnut polyphenols may help prevent chemically-induced liver damage.<\/p>\n
Heart Health<\/h3>\n
Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease, is a broad term used for chronic diseases related to the heart and blood vessels.\u00a0In many cases, heart disease may be prevented with healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating nuts (<\/span>30,\u00a0<\/span>31,\u00a0<\/span>32).<\/span><\/p>\n
Cancer Prevention<\/h3>\n
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth. Many forms of cancer can be prevented by eating\u00a0healthy food, exercising and avoiding unhealthy lifestyle habits.<\/p>\n
Diabetes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe beneficial dietary fat in walnuts has been shown to improve metabolic<\/strong><\/a> parameters in people with type 2 diabetes. Overweight adults with type 2 diabetes who ate one-quarter cup of walnuts daily had significant reductions in fasting insulin levels compared to those who did not, and the benefit was achieved in the first three months<\/p>\n
Brain Health<\/h3>\n
Several human studies indicate that eating nuts may improve brain function.<\/strong> They also show that walnuts can help with depression and age-related decline in brain function<\/p>\n
