Palma is here to bust some common myths about nuts and dried fruits and enlighten you with the truth. First, let's tackle the misconception that nuts lead to weight gain. While nuts are energy-dense and high in fats, these are mostly healthy unsaturated fats. Studies have shown that moderate nut consumption, as part of a balanced diet, can actually help in maintaining a healthy weight.
Next, let's talk about walnuts and brain health. The walnut's resemblance to the brain isn't just a coincidence. Recent research suggests that walnut consumption may improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of diseases like dementia, making them a brain-boosting addition to your diet.
Another myth is that the sugar content in dried fruits promotes dental cavities. However, dried fruits like raisins contain bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties that inhibit bacteria causing cavities and gum disease. So, they’re not only delicious but also beneficial for dental health.
Lastly, the debate between raw vs. roasted nuts. Roasting nuts does not diminish their nutritional value; in fact, it can enhance their antioxidant activities, making roasted nuts from Palma just as nutritious as their raw counterparts.
