The Daily Mail reports that those in the walnut-eating group had lower blood pressure than those who did not. Walnuts are nuts that contain the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The fatty acid is linked to better heart health. However, the University of Minnesota researchers say more studies are needed to confirm the findings.

Eating walnuts daily can help control blood pressure and help with weight loss, a new study has found. This is reported in a study published in the journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.
The Daily Mail reports that those in the walnut-eating group had lower blood pressure than those who did not. Walnuts are nuts that contain the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The fatty acid is linked to better heart health. However, the University of Minnesota researchers say more studies are needed to confirm the findings.
For the study, the team analyzed data from 3,341 US people aged about 45. This is suggested by the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study conducted by the University of Alabama between 1985 and 2015.
A 2018 study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health identified more trace elements and trace elements in walnuts. Walnuts are rich in zinc, boron, copper, nickel and cobalt.
Some fats are healthier than others. The healthy types include monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Bioactive compounds in walnuts reduce the risk of heart disease, researchers say.
Walnuts contain important phytochemicals and high levels of polyunsaturated fats that have potential benefits for brain health and function. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce oxidative stress in the brain, improve brain signaling, and improve neurogenesis.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important for the development and function of the nervous system. Research and clinical evidence suggest that omega-3 fatty acids have the potential to relieve depression.
The Journal of Nutrition also reports that eating walnuts may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Researchers say that people with diabetes must eat a handful of walnuts every day. Studies also show that eating walnuts can help control glucose levels.
