These nuts not only saturate you with vitamins and various nutrients, but also help control blood sugar levels and help you forget about hunger for a long time.

This makes cashews a great snack.

But the beneficial properties of this nut do not end there.

Nutritionist Veronika Gusakova spoke in more detail about why you need to include cashews in your diet, writes LIFE.ru.

She noted that nuts contain antioxidants that have a positive effect on the condition of the eyes and protect them from age-related changes.

In addition, such a snack helps to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol, the risk of heart and vascular problems. The whole point here is that cashews contain useful omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The nutritionist emphasized that these are not all the benefits.

As it turns out, the product protects against premature aging and improves skin elasticity, as well as soothes and helps fight stress.

But at the same time, you definitely shouldn't overdo it with cashews in your diet. The thing is that it is a fairly high-calorie product. You can eat up to 40 grams of this nut per day.
