Last week I was craving walnuts!
Do you know how many calories are in a 100 grams of walnuts? The answer is 654! Today we have attached a chart for you to check your nut intake in nutritional value and in calories!
Nuts are a great source of energy, especially when you are on a detox but if you are watching your waist line you need to restrict your intake to a small handful per day.
We recommend you eat 12 kernels per day which is 159 calories. This is about equivalent to the 23 almonds (164 calories) we recommend as a snack in our detox.
Walnuts are especially know to be good for your cardiovascular system and your heart because of their effect on the circulatory system and healthy blood pressure due to the presence of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients and the minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.
These nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is a good alternative plant source of the fat which is also found in sardines, salmon and tuna.
Omega-3 is known as the good fat.
Other health benefits of walnuts include support of bone health, anti cancer benefits due to their anti-inflammatory properties and is has been shown to be of benefit in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
