The study shows that regular walnut consumption is highly correlated with a better health status. The findings of the study show that walnut consumption positively affects the microbiota (intestinal flora) composition and diversity.
Dr. Klaus Parhofer revealed the results of a much-anticipated study of walnut and microbiome.
Dr.Parhofer had previously observed that consuming 43 g of walnut per day for 8 weeks significantly affected lipids in healthy subjects. In the same study in which intestinal microbiology was also evaluated, 134 women were healthy and 194 European subjects were included. The results show that walnut intake of 43 g / day for 8 weeks significantly increases the intestinal microbiology by increasing probiotics and butyric acid producing species in healthy individuals.
In relation to the relationship between walnut and intestinal microbiota; "Microorganisms that we call" microbiology "help us with nutrients that are necessary for digestion and that we need but are not produced by our bodies, while protecting us against disease-causing microorganisms Prebiotics and probiotics are very important for a healthy microbiota Nutcracker studies on the positive effects of microbiota have exciting results.
Walnut provides support for the development of useful probiotic bacteria in the intestines due to both the valuable fatty acids found in the structure and the fiber in the thin husk. Antioxidant polyphenol compounds found in walnut also contribute to intestinal health by showing prebiotic effect. Consuming 30 grams of walnut per day is necessary both in terms of heart health and bowel health, " experts say.
Experts emphasizing the importance of plant-derived and high-fiber nutrition for a healthy life; "Obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and other chronic diseases, known as" diseases of the modern day "known as 'civilization diseases', have threatened the world.Many studies have shown that Type 1 diabetes, lupus, asthma, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, allergy, celiac disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and diseases such as Crohn's disease and microbiota impaired.
Nutritional habits, including high fat and simple carbohydrates, reduce good bacterial species, leading to an increase in bad bacterial species. The nutritional habits of high fiber content, such as walnuts, are predominant; on the contrary, it results in an increase in good bacteria species and a decrease in bad bacteria species.
