Benefits of walnut oil
An antioxidant powerhouse rich in essential vitamins and nutrients, the potential benefits of walnut oil include:
Improves heart health
Walnut oil is a significant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid essential for heart health. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure, which can decrease the risk of heart disease.
Reduces blood sugar levels
The addition of walnut oil in the daily diet of type 2 diabetic patients improves lipid profiles. This means that walnut oil may serve as a helpful natural remedy for hyperlipidemic patients with type 2 diabetes.
Promotes longevity
Test tube studies of walnut oil indicate it is rich in antioxidants, including ellagic acid and gamma-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E). Antioxidants are crucial for neutralizing free radicals, which can cause cellular damage and contribute to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants, like those that have been found in walnut oil, can help protect the body’s cells from oxidative stress, which promotes overall health and longevity.
May decrease inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a key factor in many health issues, including heart disease, arthritis and certain cancers. Research indicates that the polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids in walnut oil have the potential to reduce inflammation throughout the body. These compounds can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory molecules, thereby potentially reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases associated with inflammation.
Research also indicates that walnut oil may be a potential treatment for IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).
Reduces signs of aging
Walnut oil’s benefits extend beyond internal health to skin care as well. Research found the nutrients found in walnut oil can help protect the skin from oxidative damage, support skin barrier function and keep the skin moisturized. Regular application of walnut oil can improve skin texture by protecting against the environmental damage that causes aging.
