7 secrets of walnut nutrition for beautiful skin

Walnut fat is excellent

Seventy percent of walnut components is fat. That fat is unsaturated fatty acid said to be of good importance such as linoleic acid and linoleic acid and it has important roles for skin.

Especially as linoleic acid works to keep good skin barrier function, it is essential for making beautiful skin. Although these are essential fatty acids, they are rarely produced in our bodies.

That is why we have to take them from food actively. Then, walnut comes. Walnut is rich in these fatty acids. It makes our skin beautiful.

Walnut is a chunk of beauty skin components

When we think of components that have beauty skin effect, they are vitamin A, B and E.

What we focus on especially is vitamin E, which has strong anti-oxidative effect, protects skin from UV and has anti-aging effect.

As of vitamin E, walnut is excellent. By eating three walnuts (about 20g), you can get 150% of recommended daily intake suggested by Ministry of health, labour and welfare.

Vitamin B1, which promotes metabolism and helps us recover from fatigue is also essential for beautiful skin. Walnut is rich in vitamin B1.

Walnut food fiber relieves constipation

Walnut is also rich in food fiber. It is important for improving intra-intestinal environment. Constipation makes body waste difficult to get out and that induces bad metabolism.

Then, we not only become easy to get tired but also lose animation and have bad skin condition. Walnut contains 1.5 times more food fiber than burdock. Eating walnut makes guts move actively and you will have comfortable bowel movement.

Constipation is a skin’s big enemy. Walnut is a beautiful skin’s strong ally.

Walnut polyphenol and anti-aging

Polyphenol has anti-oxidative and antibiotic effect and is essential for avoiding aging and keeping skin beautiful.

Walnut has the very best amount of polyphenol among nuts. Polyphenol amount of about 4~5 walnuts (30g) exceeds a grass of red wine.

Polyphenol protects skin from wrinkles and macula and keeps sebum balance and makes moist beautiful skin. Walnut polyphenol improves its effects by interaction with other beautiful skin components.

Good sleep effect

Walnut contains amino acids. Of all, Let’s focus on tryptophan. Tryptophan makes serotonin that is called happy agent.

When serotonin is released, it induces mental stability and good sleep. quality of sleep becomes bad and fatigues doesn’t go away when it lacks, which makes you lack sleep and feel irritated. Lack of sleep for a long time causes impaired metabolism and bad skin condition.

To make beautiful skin condition, plenty of sleep is important. Eating walnut multiplies blood melatonin concentration. We can expect walnut’s good sleep effects.

Making collagen by walnut components

Walnut components contain a kind of amino acid that produces collagen, which is “proline”. We don’t hear that name, but it’s one of the important components of collagen. You may convince if you hear that it is a component that is contained a lot in gelatin.

This amino acid is produced in body. When it’s not enough, collagen production is prevented and that causes bad skin condition and joints pain.

It is necessary to take it from food, stabilize the structure of collagen and help epidermal cells increase. Proline is amino acid whose molecular weight is small and percolation to body is high. Let’s eat walnut actively with the aim of getting beautiful skin.

Roast walnut and double these effects

There’s a way to double these beautiful skin effects. That’s “roasting”. If you roast walnut, walnut’s anti-oxidative effect is doubled.

Flying with pan, it becomes tasty with roasted smelling, but baking it with toaster for two minutes also makes it tasty.

Walnut is rich in nutrition even if you eat as it is, but we want to make the most of it. I recommend you to eat it after roasting if you want beautiful skin effect.
