Hazelnuts are usually appear on our tables at Christmas time, along with other dried fruit in the basket, but obviously we would do well not to lose sight of the whole year because they have health benefits that even we imagined. So, after discovering that the almonds fight diabetes and heart disease, now the nuts come to the right in the list of nuts that saves our lives.
A recent study done in New Zealand and published by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in fact, this small fruit variability as a source of health. Hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E and, despite the high caloric content, along with other nuts contain essential fatty acids the body, not to mention antioxidants that help skin stay young and supple.
The study showed that the nuts are able to lower their cholesterol about 5% of LDL, or bad, instead of increasing the good HDL giving less chance of developing cardiovascular diseases. Scientists have been able to gather data favorable after they did try a special diet with nuts on a sample of 50 adults with high cholesterol levels on average.
A quantity of about 30 grams of hazelnuts - consumed in any form, whole or chopped - you eat each day for periods of 4 weeks with intervals of two, showed that he had a bad colestrolo increased sharply downward. If only around 30 grams of nuts, it means that a handful a day saves us the heart.
Exaggerating is counter productive, since the whole dried fruit is very caloric and fat, the heart would uteriormente fatigued. At this point, if every time we eat a big slice of pie apples and hazelnuts cooked and eaten, there will be bad: besides giving a boost to the palate, we are also sure to be doing good to our hearts.
More and more research, now turn to the table to find solutions satisfactory to both health and for taste.
