Which food should you eat for weight loss
Robert explains in his post, "Eat this food immediately before a meal and this will reduce your blood sugar spikes. This can help prevent blood sugar spikes. It can reduce appetite and, bonus, it's even great for your brain."
He adds, “So the food I'm talking about is walnuts. Walnuts are rich in fibre. This helps fill up your gut, which is really good, and your gut bacteria love fibre. That's excellent for gut health.”
"Walnuts, the fibre in walnuts, will also help prevent blood sugar spikes by slowing down the absorption of food. You feel fuller, so you'll eat less at your meal, which can help with weight loss. And as a bonus, walnuts are great for your brain. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Your brain, outside of water, is made primarily of fat, so eating walnuts or other foods with a lot of healthy fat is really great for brain health," he concludes.
What science says
According to a study published in February 2020 in the journal Nutrients, regular walnut consumption may enhance memory and learning abilities, improve motor coordination, and boost overall physical activity. The study also found that walnuts could help reduce anxiety levels, indicating potential mood-stabilising benefits, making them a valuable addition to a brain-healthy diet.
