Walnuts Enhance Your GI Bacteria
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Tn9a1v9C038
Wolfing down 2-3 ounces of walnuts a day is an excellent way to improve your gut microbiome and keep your heart healthy. This from nutrition researchers at Penn State.
They studied 42 overweight or obese middle aged subjects and replaced the saturated fats in their diets with either vegetable oils or good ol’ walnuts. When their fecal samples were analyzed, the walnut eaters enjoyed a significant increase in good gastrointestinal bacteria including eubacterium eligens and lachnospiraceae. The Eu bug normalizes blood pressure while the lach bug drops your blood pressure and cholesterol.
Walnuts won’t neutralize a pile of burgers and donuts. They do make a heart healthy snacks so crack a can.
