Happy Friday before Christmas! I have a simple and delicious savory walnut recipe for you today.

Walnuts have so many health benefits. Benefits that are important with the approaching celebrations—that can often end up as too much family time.

It’s important to take care of yourself.

The Walnut and Heart Health

According to the Circulation study, “The number of cardiac deaths is higher on Dec. 25 than on any other day of the year, second highest on Dec. 26, and third highest on Jan. 1.” [source]

Keeping stress low during this time of year can be a struggle.

Well, I have good news. Did you know walnuts are great for heart health? They contain the l-arginine amino acid that has many vascular benefits.

The Walnut and Weight Management

Choosing a few walnuts over chips can also help keep your weight down. Walnuts have a natural balance from nature of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals which help our bodies feel satiation. If we achieve satiation we might not binge on all of the other foods around us.

The Walnut and Brain Health

In case you have to endure a lot of ignorance during gatherings and you’re pretty sure the family won’t unite over Adele’s recent Hello—it’s important to make sure your brain is functioning at capacity. You want rational thinking to prevail.

Walnuts help you do that with their natural nervous system protecting compounds like, vitamin E, omega-3s, antioxidants, folate, and melatonin.

Sounds pretty good!
