Nut & Seed · ingredient guide
Tree nuts that stand out among nuts for their plant (ALA) omega-3 content, along with protein, fiber and polyphenols.
Regularly eating nuts is associated with better heart health, and walnuts add plant omega-3s — relevant as cardiovascular risk rises after menopause. Their protein, fiber and healthy fat also help with fullness, which supports appetite control. They're calorie-dense, so a small handful (about an ounce) a day is the practical serving; nuts support a heart-healthy diet rather than treating heart disease.
Food supports overall health — it doesn't treat or cure any condition. Talk to your clinician about symptoms, supplements, or a diagnosis.
Diets that include nuts like walnuts are linked with better cardiovascular health. They contribute plant omega-3s and unsaturated fat as part of an overall pattern.
