Guest guest Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Walnuts are our food of the week. Did you know that just one quarter-cup of walnuts contains over 90% of the daily value for those hard to find omega 3 essential fatty acids? They are called "essential" because they are a special protective type of fat that cannot be manufactured by our body and therefore must be supplied by the foods we eat. Enjoying walnuts as part of your Healthier Way of Eating not only adds wonderful taste and texture to your meals, but it is an easy way to include more omega-3s into your diet. The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids range from providing cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory protection to promoting better cognitive function. Walnuts also contain ellagic acid, a compound that supports the immune system and appears to have anticancer properties. Suzi What is a weed?
