Looking for a brain boost? WALNUTS not only look like a brain, but with its impressive Omega-3 fatty acid content, they support optimal brain function. Omega-3s play a crucial role in building cell membranes throughout the body, and the brain in particular. Omega-3s help form the soft, fluid outer lining of brain cells that gives them the ability to communicate with each other. They help fight cognitive decline, memory loss, and depression. Considered an anti-inflammatory food, walnuts also contain polyphenol antioxidants and supports immune function. Too many calories, you say? Walnuts have actually been shown to help with weight loss. They are considered a very nutrient dense food and you get a lot of bang for your buck (protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and potassium) with just a handful of walnuts. At the same time, they make you feel full and curb appetite and any cravings for a less nutrient dense option
