Walnuts lower stress

Added 27.12.2010

Dreaming of a stress-free Christmas?

Aching wallets; battling hysterical crowds while trying to do last minute shopping; juggling the happy family (and sometimes not so happy); and trying to live up to the expectations of the perfect Christmas. Sound familiar?

According to surveys, Christmas ranks second on people's list after financial problems. Can we ever have a stress-free Christmas? Realistically, probably not. BUT we can help our body respond to stress better.

Walnuts lower stress

What better way to manage stress during Christmas than with walnuts? A study says eating walnuts lowers blood pressure at rest and blood pressure responses during stressful situations. This is great news because as you know people who respond strongly to stress have a much higher risk of suffering from heart disease.

What's so great about walnuts?

In a nutshell (no pun intended), walnuts are packed with all kinds of healthy nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, tryptophan and omega-3 fatty acids. Just 26 grams of walnuts contain over 90% of the daily recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids. This little nut is great at fighting inflammation, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and a whole bunch of diseases which are largely caused by chronic inflammation.
