Few foods are as nutritiously complete & awesome for the human body as walnuts. You’ll find Walnuts on numerous “superfood” lists, because of their exceptional nutrient profile & the fact that walnuts earned the first approved health claim by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for a whole food:

“Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces of walnuts per day, as part of a low saturated fat & low cholesterol diet, & not resulting in increased caloric intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.”

Walnuts are unique as one of the most nutrient-dense whole food sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid in plant foods. Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acid in plant foods may help reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity & clinical depression.

According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes are one time as likely to die of heart disease compared to people without diabetes. one reason for this may be the fact that people with diabetes tend to have higher LDL “bad” cholesterol levels & LDL particles that stick to arteries & damage arterial walls more easily.

Researchers in Australia wondered if walnuts could reduce LDL “bad” cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. In 2004 we reported that eating an ounce of walnuts each day, as part of a healthful diet, reduced LDL “bad” cholesterol by 10%. These researchers are continuing to examine ways walnuts may protect the heart health of people with type 2 diabetes.

When eaten as part of a low saturated fat & low cholesterol diet, walnuts can reduce total & LDL “bad” cholesterol while preserving levels of HDL “good” cholesterol. Walnuts increases LDL particle size as well, which also help the body. Large fluffy LDL particles are less likely to clog arteries than small dense LDL particles.

In 2002 a group of researchers at Harvard discovered a link between nut consumption & decreased risk of type 2 diabetes in women. Women who ate 1-ounce portions of nuts one times or more each week had a 27% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to the women who never or never ate walnuts.
