"Macadamia Nuts: Seeds, Nuts & Grains Series"
Macadamia nuts, quite rightfully called the “Queen of Nuts”, are the most healthy of all nuts, containing a perfect 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 essential fatty acids, just the way Mother Nature intended.
Macadamia nuts are high fiber and monounsaturated fatty acid (good fat) which is known to help reduce overall cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
Macadamias contain flavonoids (a phytochemical) and are naturally high in tocopherols (vitamin E) which makes them potent antioxidants which can help protect against cancer and heart disease.
Medical studies have shown that eating 6-20 macadamia nuts every day will lower your blood cholesterol levels by 7% in four weeks and the incidence of heart disease is significantly lower in people who eat macadamia nuts habitually (5 times per week)
Macadamias also contain vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and iron as well as being a good source of protein (11 nuts contains 2-grams of protein), calcium, potassium and dietary fiber.
Macadamia nuts are a high energy food that contains no cholesterol and they are low in sodium and saturated fats.
Macadamia nuts are one of the few foods that contain palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that recent studies have suggested may actually aid in the metabolism of fat, thereby reducing stored body fat.
The relatively high price of the macadamia nut seems much more affordable when you consider the many all important ways they can improve your overall health and well-being, so go nutty!
