Usually thought of as a mainstay only in desserts, most people end up choosing almonds and cashews over this nutritionally rich dry fruit. Below listed are a few health benefits that will help you make this fantastic nut a part of your diet.
It keeps your heart healthy
These nuts are known to be extremely rich in monounsaturated fats, which are known to be cardioprotective as they help reduce levels of cholesterol and clean up clogged arteries. These also help in lowering the level of triglycerides, a kind of body fat that reduces coronary disease.
Prevent cancer by fighting free radical damage
An amazing health benefit of this nut is a product of its high flavonoid content. These are usually found in plants, and they help the human body cells protect themselves from damage as well as protect them from environmental toxins. These flavonoids convert themselves into antioxidants in the body, and these, in turn, search for and destroy free radicals to protect the human body from various diseases such as cancer of the breast, lung, prostate and stomach cancer.
Curb your appetite
The fat content in macadamia nuts is known to help curb your appetite for a more extended period. They are known to be a rich source of palmitoleic acid, which is known to increase the metabolism of fat and also helps reduce fat storage.
Superb for your hair, skin and nails
Macadamia nuts are a great source of protein, potassium, calcium, dietary fibre and antioxidants. Since they are low in sodium content, they tend to be food that does tremendous good to your body. They make your hair shine and offer your nails a healthy sheen, and they also make your skin look vibrant.
Macadamia for strong bones
Macadamia nuts are great if you wish to enjoy strong and healthy bones through life. Magnesium and phosphorous are a large part of these nuts, which play an essential role in bone and teeth mineralization. They boost metabolism and also help in the absorption and transportation of nutrients. The calcium content helps in the formation of strong bones and teeth.
The manganese found in these nuts allows for a new bone deposit, which helps the skeleton stay strong as you age.
