To fight free radicals that can damage our body's cells and cause disease, walnuts are the top nut to eat, according to new research. That's because these nuts pack large loads of antioxidant polyphenols, compounds that interact with free radicals to stabilize them and prevent them from doing damage to cells. Harmful free radicals are charged particles that are produced from reactions in our body, as well as by pollution and cigarette smoke. When they collide with cells, they can start a chain chemical reaction that disrupts the workings of the cell, which can damage or kill cells. Walnuts have almost twice as many antioxidant polyphenols as almonds, peanuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, macadamias and pecans, researchers said. "A handful of walnuts contains almost twice as much antioxidants as an equivalent amount of any other commonly consumed nut. But unfortunately, people don't eat a lot of them," Joe Vinson, a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton, said in a statement. "This study suggests that consumers should eat more walnuts as part of a healthy diet." Vinson found that the potency of antioxidants present in walnuts was higher than any other nut he examined in the study. Antioxidants in walnuts were four to 15 times as potent as they are in vitamin E, which is known for its antioxidant effects, he said. In general, nuts contain high amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Past research has linked regular consumption of small amounts of nuts or peanut butter with decreased risk of heart disease , cancer, gallstones and Type 2 diabetes. Vinson's study also revealed that nuts make up about 8 percent of antioxidants in the average U.S. diet. However, about seven walnuts a day is all it takes to reap their health benefits, Vinson said. Researchers presented the findings this week at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society. The study was funded by the University of Scranton.

Koji su orašasti plodovi najbolji? Potrebno je oko sedam oraha na dan da bismo izvukli maksimalnu zdravstvenu i nutricionističku korist iz te specifične voćke Orašasti plodovi trebali bi, ako već nisu, naći svoje mjesto na svakom stolu zbog raznoraznih razloga, pretežno zdravstvenih - jer nisu samo ukusni, već su i zdravi. U svijetu orašastih plodova, najobičniji orasi su najbolji jer sadrže najviše antioksidansa. Zbog toga bi trebali biti sastavni dio vaše zdrave prehrane. „Orasi nadmašuju kikiriki, bademe, pistacije, pekan orahe i sve druge orašaste plodove", kazao je Joe Vinson sa Sveučilišta Scranton iz Pennsylvanije koji je te namirnice detaljno analizirao. On je rekao da je potrebno oko sedam oraha na dan da bismo izvukli maksimalnu zdravstvenu i nutricionističku korist iz te specifične voćke. „Šaka oraha sadrži gotovo dvostruko više antioksidanata od bilo kojeg drugog orašastog ploda u istoj količini kojeg obično konzumiramo. Ovo istraživanje sugerira da bismo trebali jesti više oraha u sklopu zdrave prehrane", dodao je Vinson. Antioksidansi su do dva puta jači od vitamina E koji je i sam poznat po antioksidanskim učincima koji štite tijelo od prirodnih, ali štetnih kemikalija koje se povezuju s brojnim bolestima, navodi se u priopćenju Sveučilišta. Vinson je primijetio da orasi i slični plodovi općenito sadrže mnogo visokokvalitetnog proteina koji dobro zamjenjuje hranjive tvari iz mesa, zatim sadrže vitamine, minerale i vlakna, a ne sadrže gluten. Godine istraživanja povezuju redovito konzumiranje oraha ili maslac od kikirikija sa smanjenjem rizika od srčanih bolesti, određenih vrsta raka, žučnog kamenca, dijabetesa tipa 2 i drugih zdravstvenih problema. Vinson je rekao da je ovo prvo pravo istraživanje koje je usporedilo gotovo sve poznatije orašaste plodove - obične orahe, bademe, kikiriki, pistacije, lješnjake, brazilske orahe, pekan orahe, indijske orahe i makadamija orahe - u kontekstu količine i kvalitete antioksidansa.
