Eat Walnuts

 

Walnuts aren't just weapons anymore. Spanish researchers

fed people with high cholesterol a heart-healthy diet (vegetables, fish, very

little red meat or eggs, olive oil as the only cooking fat) for 12 weeks.

 

For half of the time, the researchers cut the amount of

olive oil by 25 percent and made up the fat calories with walnuts.

 

Though LDL cholesterol levels dropped during both halves

of the 12 weeks, they dropped significantly more during the walnut weeks.

 

" These results came from only eight to 11 walnuts a

day, "

says Joan Sabate, M.D., Dr.P.H., the study author, from

Loma Linda University in California.

 

It's possible that a combo of monounsaturated fats (olive

oil) and polyunsaturated fats (walnuts) whacks

cholesterol.

Oh, one more thing. As usual, all our new articles and
