The pharmacological effects of walnut kernel are as follows:
(1) Hypolipidemic effect. Walnut kernel can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in intestine, promote the decomposition of cholesterol in liver and excrete it with bile, thus reducing cholesterol and preventing heart disease. Some people think that eating three walnuts a day. About 30 grams, the risk of heart disease is reduced by about 10%.
(2) hypotensive effect. Flavonoids contained in walnut kernel can lower blood pressure.
(3) increase albumin. Feeding mixed fat food containing walnut oil to experimental animals can increase serum albumin content and increase body weight.
(4) Anti-aging effect. Walnut kernel contains zinc, magnesium and other elements, which can regulate metabolism and delay the aging process of the body. Vitamins C and E are antioxidants, which can resist the damage of "free radicals" to cells, so they also have anti-aging effects.
