<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Walnuts are in season and they provide essential vitamins and minerals required by the body. They are also an excellent source of protein that is healthier than other sources of protein such as meats. Walnuts can be eaten alone or put into breads. Here are some nutritional benefits of walnuts:</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Fibre</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Like all nuts, walnuts contain fibre. Research shows that one cup of chopped walnuts contains 7.8 g of fibre. Adult men should consume 30 to 38 g of fibre a day, while adult women should consume 21 to 25 g of fibre a day. Fibre helps keep the stomach full longer; since it takes longer to digest and may help prevent diabetes. Walnuts can be added to oatmeal, tossed into salads or baked into breads or other bakery items.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Vitamin E</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One cup of chopped walnuts contains 0.82 mg of vitamin E. Adult men and women older than the age of 19 should consume 15 mg of vitamin E a day. Vitamin E is responsible for immune function, helps prevent cataracts, may help prevent some types of cancer and is linked to a decrease in heart attacks. Vitamin E has also been used as part of a treatment regimen in cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Omega-3 fatty acids</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that can be found in all types of nuts, including walnuts. They are considered to be an essential nutrient since humans must get this nutrient from food sources. Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk of developing heart disease, arthritis and cancer. They are also responsible for healthy brain function and helping the foetus of a pregnant mother develop healthy vision and a healthy nervous system. A deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids can result in dry skin, poor memory, depression and fatigue.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Health benefits of eating walnuts include:</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cardiovascular benefits</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Walnuts have been evaluated for their benefits in the heart and circulatory system and their favourable impact on vascular reactivity. In order to respond to different stimuli in a healthy way, many aspects of the cardiovascular system must be functioning optimally. These aspects include: ample presence of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, proper blood composition, correct balance in inflammation-regulating molecules, and proper composition and flexibility in our blood vessel walls. Walnuts have favourable impact on these aspects.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Treatment of type 2 diabetes</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Although type 2 diabetes is thought of as a problem primarily related to blood sugar control and insulin metabolism, persons diagnosed with type 2 diabetes typically have health problems in other related systems, and are at special risk for cardiovascular problems. An important part of the goal in designing a diet plan for persons with type 2 diabetes is lowering the risk of future cardiovascular problems. Consumption of walnuts increases flexibility in the response of the cardiovascular system and provides significant benefits in this area for persons with type 2 diabetes. It has also demonstrated better blood fat composition in persons with type 2 diabetes.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Anti-cancer benefits</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Wide variety of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients are found in walnuts, and they have anti-cancer benefits. The antioxidant properties of walnuts help lower risk of chronic oxidative stress. The anti-inflammatory properties help lower risk of chronic inflammation. It is precisely these two types of risk, that, when combined, pose the greatest threat for cancer development.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">'My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare.<br /><br />'My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments.<br /><br />'While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions.<br />'It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.<br />'To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…<br /><br />'Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.'</span></div>
