Researchers from the University of Barcelona, Spain, stating, for the benefit of magic effects, you just need to consume about 30 grams of raw walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts every day.
Researchers hope the findings published in the Journal of Proteome Research is beneficial to patients with metabolic syndrome (mets) are characterized by abdominal fat, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure (hypertension).
Changes in diet with regular consumption of nuts contain healthy fats and antioxidants believed to help patients cope with the problem of overweight, reducing risk of type two diabetes, and heart disease.
The team, led by Cristina Andris-Lacueva working with the Human Nutrition Unit of the Rovira i Virgili University says, "Increased excretion of serotonin metabolites for the first time associated with the consumption of peanuts."
During the study, the scientists involved 22 volunteers who suffer from metabolic syndrome. They are fed a fortified peanut for 12 weeks and the other group 20 volunteers also go on a diet but not regular nuts. After that, the researchers then do the checker urine of patients.
The result, volunteers who ate 30 grams of beans per day had higher levels of serotonin. About 90 percent of serotonin is located in the gut, while the remainder is found in the central nervous system that regulates mood and appetite.
Another study in the United States Department of Agriculture published in the British Journal of Nutrition earlier this year also found that pistachios (nuts) may help you lose weight and promoting heart health.
Lead researcher David Baer said, "Pistachios provide a variety of health benefits, including weight management and cardiovascular health."
