The Humble Cashew -
​       Health Issues Cashews May Prevent

• Cancer.
  The polyphenols found in cashews are known to prevent cancerous cells from growing. In addition, the excessive presence of free radicals that make you more vulnerable to cancer can be eliminated by copper which is found in abundance in these nuts.
• Coronary heart diseases.
  The fatty acids in these nuts are helpful in balancing “bad” and “good” cholesterol levels, which reduces the risk of serious vascular heart diseases. Recent studies have shown that it’s not only cholesterol that is the main risk factor of heart disorders, but a lack of magnesium as well. This is due to the fact that calcium, which supports the heart muscles, is absorbed with its help. Magnesium is abundant in cashews.
• Gums & teeth.
  According to studies, cashew nuts are effective in fighting different bacteria responsible for tooth caries, thus helping in maintaining healthy gums and teeth. In addition, chewing nuts is believed to be able to help infected teeth.
• Blood sugar.
  The nuts have recently been proven to benefit the lipid panel of diabetics. High triglyceride levels put you at risk of developing diabetes because it may be a sign of insulin resistance. The intake of cashews can have a positive effect on lowering its level, warding you against health problems in the future.
• Bile stones.
  People have known about the efficiency of nuts in decreasing the probability of the formation of bile stones for a long time. Research has shown that women eating at least two tablespoon of cashews a week have quartered their risks of developing bile stones.
• Musculoskeletal system problems.
  Calcium absorption is essential in keeping your bones healthy. Magnesium shouldn’t be underestimated either. Taking into account that these organic nuts are a source of this mineral too, it’s obvious that they are very beneficial if you want to have strong bones.
• Nervous disorders.
  The lack of magnesium can cause calcium to penetrate into the nerve cells, which will provoke tension in the muscular and vascular system. Cashews are rich in magnesium. Therefore, they may be eaten to support your nervous system.
