Austin, Texas: Although science knows that walnuts are good for the heart and eating walnuts daily can strengthen the heart, but now experts have said that walnuts first affect the stomach and then benefit the heart.
Texas Technical College and Juniata College have jointly researched that the benefits to the heart come from the stomach and its micronutrients. It can also be called a new research proving the efficacy of walnuts.
Marharin recruited some volunteers for this and divided them into three groups. The first group was asked to eat a proven walnut and were then given some tests. It was found that people who ate walnuts had higher levels of the amino acid L-homoarginine in their intestines.
In this way, walnuts increase the amount of ‘L-homoarginine’ in the stomach. We already know that a healthy person can become a heart patient due to lack of this amino acid. Then it was also known that the health of the stomach and intestines keeps the whole body healthy.
Walnuts, on the other hand, are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which improves brain, nervous and cardiovascular health. This is why doctors recommend eating 57 to 99 grams of walnuts per day, which is equal to one cup of walnuts.
