Do dry nuts reduce inflammation ?

Inflammation and oxidative stress mediate  pathophysiology of various non-communicable diseases.

Studies have also associated nuts with reduced markers of inflammation and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Phytosterols, fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including linoleic acid and alpha‐linolenic acid, as well as mineral-type antioxidant molecules such as selenium, copper, and magnesium, in peanuts and tree nuts could enhance lipid metabolism and lower low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) levels.

Tree nuts include Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, cashew, macadamia, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, and pecans.
