HIGH IN MONOUNSATURATED FATS, MACADAMIAS HELP TO NORMALIZE BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND IMPROVE OVERALL HEART HEALTH. Including macadamia nuts regularly in the diet reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, while increasing good HDL cholesterol. This effect is linked to the nut's high concentration of monounsaturated fats along with its plant sterol content, which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from food. Macadamias are full of other nutrients, including potassium and magnesium, which help to regulate fluid balance, protein needed for growth and tissue repair, and cell-protective antioxidants such as vitamin E, selenium and a compound called EPICATECHIN. NUTRIENTS: VITAMINS B1, B3, B5, B6 & E BIOTIN CALCIUM COPPER IODINE IRON MAGNESIUM MANGANESE PHOSPHORUS POTASSIUM SELENIUM ZINC FIBER PROTEIN MONOUNSATURATED FATS wp: flickr |
