| Food | Benefits of eating cashew nuts

in #food6 years ago

I have been buying and eating cashew nuts lately. What's not to like about them? They are tasty, crunchy, and serve as a good snack between meals. I didn't even realize that there are numerous benefits of eating cashews. So, I looked up the web and found the following:

  • They reduce blood pressure and lower the risk for cardiovascular disease.
  • They contain several vitamins (such as B6 and E) and minerals (such as Potassium, Copper, Iron).
  • They contain high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as antioxidants and are good for the eyes.
  • They help in fighting diabetes and cancer.
  • They help in weight loss.

And much more. Now, I can enjoy eating cashews and know that I am also benefitting. The picture here shows which cashews I am eating at the moment. This packet is "Roasted No Salt" but usually I buy the "Honey Roasted" ones. They were completely out when I last went to Wal-Mart!
