Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Walnut

  • Metabolic Effect: Walnuts help balance blood sugar and provide long-lasting satiety due to their healthy fats and fiber content. The omega-3 fatty acids they contain support brain functions and enhance cognitive performance.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume walnuts alone as a snack or add them to your salads and yogurt to increase their nutritional value. Consuming them with oatmeal for breakfast helps you start the day energetically.
  • Things to Consider: Walnuts have a high calorie content, so it is important to pay attention to portion control. A handful of walnuts contains approximately 164 calories and meets a significant portion of your daily fat needs.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories in a handful of walnuts, you need to walk briskly for about 25 minutes. This is an exercise that you can easily incorporate into your daily activity.
