Scientists named a type of nut that is beneficial for the intestines 10:13

Scientists from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Brazil found that daily consumption of Brazil nuts improves intestinal barrier function and protects the organ from inflammation. Research results It was published In the Journal of Nutrition.

46 overweight and obese women participated in the study. Volunteers were divided into two groups. For eight weeks, both groups tracked their calorie intake, but half of the participants supplemented their daily diet with two Brazil nuts a day, while the other group ate none.

At the end of the experiment, scientists tracked how key biomarkers of gut health and the level of inflammation in the participants’ bodies changed. It was revealed that intestinal barrier function improved slightly in the group consuming nuts. The intestinal barrier is responsible for normal (selective) intestinal permeability, in particular the prevention of toxins, food antigens and microorganisms from entering the bloodstream.

Scientists also found that Brazil nuts reduce the level of inflammation in the body. Researchers suggested that the element selenium in their composition has this beneficial effect. This nutrient has antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage and slow tissue wear.
