American scientists have recommended paying attention to pecans and including them in your regular menu.
They are sure that this particular nut can help the body fight extra pounds, as well as prevent diabetes and other serious problems.
An experiment was conducted.
For this, two groups of mice were used. One part of the rodents was transferred to a diet with pecans, and the other to a type of food that involves a lot of fat.
As observations have shown, adding nuts to food increases energy expenditure, reduces inflammation, and helps control metabolism. But if you really want to get results, you need to eat 22 to 38 nuts.
But it is important that they are included in the total caloric content of the daily diet. At the same time, do not forget about a healthy lifestyle.
