Nutritional Benefit of Macadamia Nuts:

According to article by Ms.Alina Petre (MS.RD (NL) on 23rd May 2019, published on “Healthline”, Macadamia Nuts,

1. Are rich in nutrients. Macadamia nuts are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, yet low in carbs and sugar. What’s more, they boast healthy monounsaturated fats.

2. Are loaded with antioxidants. Macadamia nuts are loaded with flavonoids and tocotrienols, antioxidants that safeguard your body against cellular damage and disease.

3. May boost heart health. Macadamia nuts are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Eating small amounts each day may help reduce heart disease risk factors, such as high cholesterol and inflammation.

4. May reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome, such as stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes due to high blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Regularly eating tree nuts, including macadamia nuts, may reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome and contribute to lower, more stable blood sugar levels.

5. May aid weight loss. Macadamia nuts may reduce hunger and promote feelings of fullness, which can benefit weight loss. They may also provide fewer calories than previously believed.

6. May improve gut health. The soluble fibre in macadamia nuts aids your digestion by feeding your beneficial gut bacteria. In turn, this can improve your gut health.

7. Provide anticancer properties. Macadamia nuts contain flavonoids and tocotrienols, plant compounds that test-tube studies indicate may help fight or kill cancer cells. However, more research is needed.

8. Boost brain health. Test-tube and animal research shows that tocotrienols may also protect brain cells from conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Still, human research is needed.

9. Bump up your longevity. Regular intake of nuts, including macadamia nuts, may help cut your risk of dying prematurely by around one-third.
