A lot of people have
misconceptions about fats and oils, and there is a
widespread belief that these “things” are
dangerous in general. But the truth is that there
are in fact good or mono fatty acids, and one
basic element of this category is
“nuts”.
Research has revealed that
nuts have some role in eliminating the risks of
heart diseases, and this is due to the fact that
they contain high percentage of “good” fatty
acids. Among other benefits of nuts is that
they contain a good level of food fibers that may
reach 3% as in CASHEW AND HAZELNUT,
and accordingly they have positive health effect
as fiber is connected to alleviating some health
disorders such as those of the colon, cholesterol,
and triple fats.
Nuts also have potassium,
which is considered as very important for
strengthening and protection of the heart muscle.
ALMOND has more than 750 milligrams
of this element, while SUNFLOWER
SEEDS have the highest amount that exceeds
900 milligrams. Iron and Calcium are other two
good elements that nuts have, and this would make
them good for children and pregnant
moment.
Therapeutically effects of
nuts include supporting the intestinal system and
supplying the body with essential elements and
antioxidants that may protect the embryo against “
oxidants”, and this would make organs in full
activity.
Modern studies on nuts stress
the importance of this nutrition source. Nuts more
have minerals than any other fruit, and this
include phosphorus, which good to supporting brain
and bones, sulfur, and potassium.
HAZELNUT is one vital element for
activating the function of the brain and bones,
and treating children with cute
anemia.
Nuts are rich with vitamin B, and
fatty acids that are good for supporting the body
cells. The value of a half kilo of
WALNUT may equal 20 kilos of beef or
mutton, and 3 kilos of chicken meat fat-free and
about 2 kilos of eggs.
As it has high percentage of
unsaturated fats, WALNUT , helps to
lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the blood within
one month of having it in moderate
amounts. Moreover, walnuts, have great amounts
of fats, and proteins that are similar to those of
meat, and this would make vegetarian use
WALNUT, ALMOND, AND HAZELNUTS as
alternative to meat .
Almond is a good source for
protein; one 100 grams have more than 19 grams of
protein. It is also considered as one good source
for basic elements for bone build-up such as
Calcium as one hundred grams contain more than
quite enough to maintain healthy bones among
adults and the elderly, and protect them against
fragility of bones.
In addition to that almond
has a good amount of oils with good percentage of
essential vitamins such as “A” “D” and “E” which
are active against oxidation of some of the basic
of the body cells.
Zinc is another component of
almond. This element is basic to supporting growth
and immunity, and promotes natural sexual maturity
. Moreover, it may increase body height and
maturity.
Almond has more that 50% of
fats, but these are unsaturated mono fats, which
are considered as “healthy” ones similar to those
of the olive oil. Almond provides a good amount of
vitamin-E fiber, and the amino acid Arginin, which
operate as antioxidants and reduce harmful effects
of Cholesterol as confirmed by one study carried
out in 1994. However, the basic consideration is
to have almond as a substitute to fatty food and
not as a supplement to daily food intake. Almond
gives some protection against heart disease. Sweet
almond purifies the lungs and chest, and
continuous intake would give the body strength,
support the kidneys, eliminate wine burning and
fortify body organs.
PEANUT
Peanut, like all other types
of nuts gives a great amount of calories; one
hundred grams give 520-630 calories. This is
attributed to the fact that it has a very high
percentage of fat. One hundred grams of shelled
peanut give at about 580 calories. Peanut has
high percentage of mono unsaturated fatty acids,
and as such it outperforms other types of nuts in
lowering high bad cholesterol (LDL Lipo) which
contributes to arteriosclerosis. This has promoted
heart associations to recommend consumption of
this type of (mono) fats. However, it also
contains high percentages of iron and
calcium.
GRAPE AND PEANUT TO
FIGHT CANCER
British scientists
have found that having grape and peanut helps to
fight cancerous tremors. The study published in “
Le Journal Sainte” pointed out that grape and
peanut contain a natural element that transforms
in the body into an anti-cancer material that
attacks malignant & cells and destroys them
without inflecting any damage to intact ones.
The researchers indicated that understanding
the mechanism of this element may help to develop
medications that would eliminate malignant cells,
and treatments to cancer with less side effects.
Hazelnut
Oil of hazelnut, the plant with the
beautiful tree is used in skin ointment and
medications. It is useful in fighting hair loss,
and contains phosphorus, calcium, vitamin-B, some
copper and iron, as well as protein which accounts
for its effect in weight gain. Hazelnut is
useful for patients with tuberculosis, diabetes,
kidney stones, urinary infection, rheumatism, and
armed tapeworm.
PINE
Pine is recommended to
respiratory disorders in
general.
