Well hi! So, you’re a farmer in ancient China. Hey, I know you’re not, but play along with me, huh? -- and you’ve finally finished. You grab a handful of walnuts before you sit down for some much-needed relaxation. What do you do? A: Crack them open, and eat ‘em, of course! B: Roll them in your hands for a few minutes. C: Practice your juggling skills? We’ll save C for the circus-act hopefuls. B would’ve been a popular choice back then, but I’ll get into that a bit later. So let’s pick the most obvious option: A. If you eat just a handful of walnuts a day, you’ll see all kinds of positive changes in your health and wellness! Hey, you’ll like what you see in the mirror too! Let’s do a rundown of all the benefits, 1. Less hair fall A healthy head of hair can make or break a person’s appearance and confidence. And when you notice all that shedding in the shower, you feel like the world is coming to an end. (You also feel like you have a new little pet each time you clear the drain. “I’ll call this one Walter…”) The good news is, eating your daily dose of walnuts will help prevent hair loss. These brainy-looking nuts contain selenium, Experts say that people who don’t get enough selenium tend to struggle with balding and hair fall. Faster stronger hair growth Walnuts have another fancy element called biotin, which not only helps with hair fall, but also makes your hair grow faster! Biotin does this by pumping up the production of keratin in your body. Keratin acts as a protective moisturizing layer on your strands. That’s why you’ll also see less breakage and splitting, since your hair will be stronger! 3. Stronger nails Any time you’re dealing with stuff that’s good for your hair, you can pretty much guarantee it’ll help your nails out too. So, I’ll keep it short: if your nails are thin and constantly splitting and breaking, better snack on some walnuts each day. Any guesses what could be next? We’re talking about keratin here – the protein that makes up your hair, nails, and… 4. Youthful radiant skin Walnuts help your body fight free radical damage. When it’s clean and ironed, it feels and looks perfectly smooth. But when it’s dirty and wrinkled, yuck, nobody wants to lie on that! That’s what happens to your skin when free radicals tamper with your collagen. The boatload of antioxidants founds in walnuts neutralize those free radicals. Once your skin regains its elasticity, then fine lines and tiredness clear out and make way for a clear, plump, and glowing complexion! 5. Cold and flu, who? That same selenium stuff that makes your hair thick and strong is also vital for your immune health. You see, you need your body’s defense system to be strong so that all that nasty stuff out there in the world doesn’t make you sick. And there are plenty of dirty hazards all around you: door handles, light switches, even your own phone is covered in germs! (“Traitor! I thought I could trust you!”) Protect yourself and strengthen your immune system with the help of all that selenium in walnuts!
