Omega-3: Why Walnuts Are a Superb Source
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in walnuts, and a researcher with Tufts University suggests that walnuts should part of a heart-healthy diet.
Dr. James Joseph is with the Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. He says that walnuts offer two key health benefits; polyphenols and Omega-3s.
The actual benefit: keeping the nerve membranes flexible and pliable, avoiding inflammation.
Dr. Joseph suggests diets rich in both blueberries and walnuts:
“Together, the polyphenols in berries and walnuts and the fatty acids in the walnuts fluidize the nerve cell membrane,” he says. “They make it more responsive to a wide array of signals.”
Walnuts are particularly rich in the Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic acid.
