Nutritionists from the Ministry of Agriculture have determined that the nutritional value of walnut is 10 times that of milk, and it is rich in amino acids, and the protein contained in it is also an excellent protein, which is similar to animal protein. Walnut, almond, cashew nut and hazelnut are all called "four dried fruits" because of their rich nutrition.
2. It is beneficial to the development of fetal brain and retina;
Lecithin contained in walnuts is beneficial to the development of fetal brain and retina, and contains no cholesterol. Eggs also contain lecithin, but people are afraid to eat more eggs because they contain cholesterol. Therefore, walnuts are also called "brain gold", which can improve memory, which is why everyone says walnuts make up the brain.
3. Protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of pregnant women:
Because 90% of the fat contained in walnuts is "good fat", which is an unsaturated fatty acid. Why should we eat less fried food? Because it contains supersaturated fatty acids, long-term consumption will affect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. This kind of oil is beneficial to the absorption of vitamins.
4. Help pregnant women to resist oxidation and aging:
Vitamin E contained in walnuts is antioxidant and anti-aging, and its oil composition can moisturize the skin.
5. Stabilize the blood pressure of pregnant women:
Because100g of dried walnuts contains 385mg of potassium, it can stabilize blood pressure, maintain acid-base balance and maintain basal metabolic rate. We often go on a diet to lose weight, and the basal metabolic rate tends to be particularly low. It seems that eating walnuts still has such effects.
Special note: pregnant women can eat about 5 walnuts every day from the third month of pregnancy. If they eat too much, they will easily get angry and gain weight. Although things are good, you can't eat more, let alone eat as food. Eat more kinds of things, a small amount of each. Only in this way can we achieve a balanced diet and absorb more kinds of nutrients.
