Famous doctor, gastroenterologist Mohammad Ali Almasri has revealed that some nuts are incredibly beneficial for the human body.
Publika.az reports that in his interview with "Gazeta," he stated that among the healthiest nuts are walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, and pine nuts.
The expert also ranked the health benefits of nuts.
"Walnut is the champion in terms of alpha-linolenic omega-3 (2.5 g per 28 g serving) and melatonin. This product lowers total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins. Almond, on the other hand, has the highest levels of vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium. It reduces visceral fat and stabilizes glucose. Regarding pistachios, they are the leader among nuts with the highest amount of protein as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support vision and healthy gut flora. I would place hazelnuts in fourth place because they are rich in unsaturated fats and manganese and have significant antioxidant potential. Pine nuts are in fifth place; the pinolenic acid they contain increases the feeling of fullness," said the doctor.
