Happy Wellness Wednesday! Today, let’s talk about a tiny but mighty superfood—walnuts! These brain-shaped nuts aren’t just a coincidence; they’re packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and polyphenols, all of which support cognitive function, reduce inflammation and promote overall well-being.
Why Walnuts?
- Brain Booster: Rich in ALA, a type of omega-3 which could enhance memory and learning.
- Heart Healthy: Helps lower bad cholesterol and supports heart function.
- Gut-Friendly: Promotes a healthy microbiome, improving digestion and immunity.
- Mood Enhancer: Supports mental health by reducing stress and anxiety.
Whether you sprinkle them on salads, blend them into plant-based dips or enjoy them as a snack, walnuts are a delicious way to fuel your body and mind.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
