Consuming any nuts daily reduces cholesterol levels. In this respect “Izvestia” said Alexander Sozykin, Associate Professor of the Department of Physiology, Human Ecology and Biomedical Information at the State University of Education.
Regular and long-term (1-2 years) daily consumption of nuts reduces the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. First of all, dietary fiber obtained from nuts prevents the absorption of “bad” fats in the intestines. Second, the “gut-filling” effect prevents overeating by communicating a feeling of fullness to the brain. In addition, “good” polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids increase the level of “good” cholesterol.
“There has been no comparative study on the championship of hazelnuts with each other. All commercially available nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, Brazil nuts, pine nuts) help reduce cholesterol with proper and rational nutrition, but they must be consumed in small quantities and regularly,” Sozykin concluded.
Regular consumption of healthy fats from fish, olive oil and nuts, as well as limiting pork, butter, egg yolks and milk, also helps reduce cholesterol levels.
