Small dietary changes can make a big difference to your overall health - and adding nuts and seeds is one of the simplest ways to do so.

Among them, walnuts stand out as a powerhouse of nutrients known to support heart, brain, and gut health. Packed with healthy fats, fibre, and antioxidants, they're an easy yet effective addition to your daily diet. Deepsikha Jain, a UK-trained nutritionist with a Master's in Global Public Health Nutrition and a certified National Diabetes Educator, has revealed the remarkable health benefits of consuming walnuts everyday. In an Instagram video posted on October 12, the nutritionist highlights that eating just three walnuts a day can not only reduce inflammation but also boost heart and brain function. Deepsikha shared the video with the caption - "Walnuts are very powerful nuts which help you build a healthier heart and gut. The skin also has so much fibre and polyphenols. Soak them prior and eat up to 3-4 walnuts daily." She explains the benefits as follows:

Anti-inflammatory According to Deepsikha, walnuts are rich in ellagitannins - powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that can help combat inflammation and support overall health. In addition to that, she also mentions that they contain fibres that help improve gut health. Boosts brain function The nutritionist highlights, "Eating walnuts can actually boost your brain function because they are a great source of omega-3s and polyphenols that can improve cognitive function, memory, and even reduce the chances of neurodegenerative diseases." Improves heart health Deepsikha explains that walnuts can significantly improve your lipid profile, thereby supporting better heart health. They help lower LDL and harmful cholesterol levels while also regulating blood pressure, contributing to a stronger, healthier heart.
