Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health...
3 John 1:2
"Eating 30-60 grams (15% of energy) of walnuts every day for two
years lowered levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or ‘bad’)
cholesterol and reduced the number of total LDL particles in elderly
individuals.
“Frequent consumption of nuts, an important component of plant-based
diets, is associated with 15% lower total cardiovascular disease (CVD)
and 23% lower CVD mortality rates,” said Dr. Emilio Ros, director of the
Lipid Clinic.
“Small, short-term randomized controlled trials indicate that diets
supplemented with nuts have a consistent cholesterol-lowering effect.”
Daily consumption of walnuts reduced the number of total LDL
particles by 4.3% and small LDL particles by 6.1%. These changes are
associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) cholesterol also decreased." SciNews
