Precautions for eating walnuts:
1 Eat walnuts in moderation: Because walnuts contain more fat, eating too much at a time will affect digestion. Generally speaking, the weight of taking walnuts every day should be about 20-40 grams, which is equivalent to about four or five walnuts.
2. Don't peel off the thin brown skin on the surface of walnut kernel: Some people like to peel off the thin brown skin on the surface of walnut kernel, which will lose some nutrients, so don't peel off this thin skin.
3, should be taken in moderation, for a long time: although the fat contained in walnut kernel is an unsaturated fatty acid that is conducive to clearing cholesterol, the fat itself has a high calorie. If it is eaten too much and cannot be fully utilized, it will be stored as cholesterol by the human body, and the result is counterproductive. At the same time, other fat intake should be reduced appropriately to avoid excessive calorie intake.
