Know Why You Should Eat A Few Walnuts Daily

7. Cleanses the Liver

Walnuts are also good for your liver.

The high amount of the amino acid l-arginine in walnuts aids the liver in detoxifying ammonia. Additionally, the good amount of glutathione and omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts aids the natural liver-cleansing process.

A 2008 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports that polyphenols in walnuts prevent liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride and d-galactosamine.

Plus, the vitamin E in these nuts helps reduce symptoms of liver disease that has been brought on by obesity.
