Nuts play an important role in reducing the risk of heart disease, as it reduces the incidence rate by more than half for people who consume nuts regularly, and adding walnuts (walnuts) or peanuts to food lowers the harmful cholesterol (LDL) and thus the rate of cholesterol in general, within a month. Take it daily in moderate proportions.


Almond fat also contains a good proportion of important vitamins for the body, which are dissolved in these fats, such as vitamin D and vitamin E. These vitamins limit the oxidation of some of the basic components in the cell (i.e. antioxidants).

Therefore, consuming appropriate quantities in the amount of one palm (approximately 50 grams per day) contributes to human protection.


The lower rates of heart disease in people who eat peanuts are mainly due to the vitamin E that is available in them. Nuts contain a good percentage of dietary fiber, which may reach more than 3% as in cashews and hazelnuts.
