Study Finds Daily Walnut Consumption May Improve Mood in Young Adults
A clinical study led by Dr. Maria Izquierdo-Pulido at the University of Barcelona found that consuming 40 grams of walnuts daily for eight weeks improved mood in healthy young adults. The trial involving 31 participants showed reductions in overall mood disturbance, anger, fatigue, and some emotional eating behaviors. The research, supported by the California Walnut Commission and published in Food Function, also suggests walnuts may influence mood through gut microbiota and serotonin metabolism, complementing earlier findings on sleep regulation.
