We all know that walnuts are one of the healthiest nuts, usually consumed as snacks these are nutritious, tasty, and full of benefits for body and mental health. But many few know or understand its impact on skincare.
Walnuts contain about 65% fat by weight, like other nuts, most of the calories in walnuts come from fat. This makes them an energy-dense, high-calorie food.
However, even though walnuts are rich in fat and calories, studies indicate that they don’t increase obesity risk when replacing other foods in your diet. They are richer than most other nuts in polyunsaturated fats. The most abundant one is an omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid. ALA is considered especially beneficial for heart health. It also helps reduce inflammation and improve the composition of blood fats.
Walnut oil is rich in vitamins, including vitamin B2, vitamin B1, vitamin B3, vitamin E, vitamin K, and niacin. These Omega fatty acids and rich oils are very nourishing to the skin and hair. Especially for people with dry skin, dryness in the eyes, frizzy hair, dandruff and dry scalp, stress, low stamina, dull skin with wrinkles. Many studies have come up to include walnut oils and shells in skincare products to target many such skin issues.
Rich in antioxidants that help fight free radical to protect and promote healthy cells. In addition, it’s has anti-cancer properties, which is being studied for its ability to help prevent a wide variety of cancers. Walnut oil provides antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, which can help reduce the risk of infection, kill bacteria, and fight against fungi, especially Candida. It is also has anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, emollient, regenerative, and toning properties that can help promote healthier skin that looks young and fresh.
Including them directly into your diet. 1-2 nuts a day will give good visible results in a month. Remember that too much of anything is bad. So keep it moderate and as per body and skin needs. Use it for 2 months and then switch to a different nuts/diet or stop consuming for 1-2 months, resume later. This way you make sure you are taking a break/ change/ explore different types of nuts, diets according to your health (body, mental, and skin). And your skin is getting the best of both worlds.
