Walnut - Brain



Did you notice that the twisted folds of a walnut are similar like a human brain? And of course their benefit is something that is related to the brain. Walnuts are the only nuts which contain important amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. An American study found that walnut extract broke down the protein-based plaque that is related to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer is a disease that is related to the brain or called brain disorder. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

Dr James Joseph, researchers at Tufts University in Boston said, walnuts also appear to enhance signaling within the brain and encourage new messaging links between brain cells. So, make a walnut as your favourite food and make used of its benefits to our brain.
