Product Description
Cashews Are Rich in Heart-Healthy Fatty Acids
Not all fats are bad for you, and some types of fat can actually
help your heart health. Cashews contain heart-healthy
monounsaturated fats, including oleic and palmitoleic acids
(Nutrition and You, ***2). These are essential fatty acids that
have been associated with lower levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol
and higher levels of healthy HDL cholesterol. As a result,
consumption of the monounsaturated fats in cashews is associated
with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (Kris-Etherton,
***9).
Cashews Provide Nearly **0 Percent of Your Recommended Daily Copper
Intake Copper is a trace mineral that we get in very small amounts,
mostly from animal sources such as crab, mussels, liver and
oysters. The presence of copper is required for a variety of
physiological reactions in the body (Prohaska, ***4), including
reactions needed for energy production, the metabolism of iron, and
neurotransmission. Failure to get enough copper has been associated
with poor immune system functioning; higher risk of cardiovascular
disease; increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as
Alzheimers or Parkinsons; and impaired bone health.
Cashews are an excellent vegetarian source of copper, providing
more of the mineral than most other non-meat sources. In fact,
eating a quarter-cup of cashews every day gives you *8 percent of
your recommended daily intake of copper, which may decrease your
risk of chronic disease (WH Foods, ***4).
