Walnut helps fight cancer
Our body's response to disease is determined by our diet. Recent research by nutritionists is showing completely unexpected results. Natural foods help protect against many ailments. One of these amazing foods is walnuts.
The research just completed has surprised many. It turns out that experimental mice who ate walnuts are less likely to develop cancer. These nuts have been shown to influence the activity of some of the most important fundamental genes that control the occurrence of breast cancer.
Walnut is one of the most valuable nuts, its effect on our health can hardly be overestimated. All this is due to the whole pantry of useful elements that make up walnuts. American researchers have revealed new interesting facts for nutritionists - the inclusion of this fruit in a regular diet reduces the likelihood of breast cancer by half.
The data of the American Cancer Research Institute are as follows: walnuts significantly reduce the risk of cancer, as well as by reducing the size of the available ones. This information was published by the authoritative edition "Nutrition and Cancer".
Such positive effects of consuming the fruit of walnuts were found in mice that were constantly fed on the basis of these fruits in the laboratory. The experiment covered the period of their development, from the fetus to the very adult age of individuals. The dosage of nuts from their diet is 60 grams for a person.
The animals involved in the research have undergone genetic influences that should certainly cause them to develop cancer. The results amazed scientists, it turns out that walnuts have an amazing effect on some genetic structures, which causes anti-cancer effects.
Mice that have such serious genetic abnormalities introduced for experiments and causing the appearance and development of cancer, eating walnuts, suffered from breast cancer less often than others. The influence of nuts on the activity of certain fundamental genes that are responsible for the likelihood of breast cancer has been established. Moreover, people have exactly the same genes.
Another positive result of the experiment is the conclusion that young pregnant women who include walnuts in their diet, thereby provide their children with a reduced risk of cancer in the future. This will help make future generations healthier.
Among the abundance of fruits included in the human diet, the walnut occupies an exceptional position. It contains many nutritional elements that are positive for health.
- lowering high blood pressure;
- prevention of degenerative and cardiovascular diseases;
- reducing the risk of atherosclerosis;
- lowering cholesterol;
- mitigate the course of PMS, as well as painful sensations during menopause;
- prevention of eczema, recommended for people with excessively dry skin;
- recommended as anticarcinogenic agents.
And here is the latest discovery made by the Institute for Disability Research (New York) - walnuts help prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
