Walnuts Benefit Heart Health by Lowering Cholesterol and Inflammation
Heart disease is the leading global cause of death, but healthy diets can reduce risk. The American Heart Association recommends fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and seeds. Walnuts, certified as heart-healthy by the AHA, help lower LDL cholesterol by 9-16% and diastolic blood pressure by 2-3 mmHg. They uniquely provide alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory benefits. Including walnuts in diets like the Mediterranean diet may significantly reduce cardiovascular events.
