Hazelnuts have a powerful antioxidant action because they are very rich in vitamin E, a vitamin whose intake contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
They are also a source of phosphorus, calcium and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.
You can consume up to a maximum of 30 grams of hazelnuts per day (about 25), this is the quantity recommended by the Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
But it is above all for the richness of unsaturated fats that hazelnuts are considered beneficial for the heart. In fact, they contain oleic acid, useful for raising the levels of "good" HDL cholesterol.
Hazelnuts contain magnesium, a mineral that regulates calcium levels in muscles and also ensures the well-being of bones, joints and the heart.
The already mentioned manganese present in hazelnuts activates digestive enzymes and facilitates the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Furthermore, it promotes the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.
The fiber content of hazelnuts ensures the health of the digestive system, facilitating intestinal transit and the elimination of toxins.
Hazelnuts are also rich in vitamin B6; B1, B2, B3 and B9 (folic acid). B vitamins are essential for our body to obtain energy from proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
They are used by our body to maintain a healthy nervous system to improve the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Vitamin B9, or folic acid, contributes to the synthesis of hormones and vitamin B2 is useful for the health of red blood cells, while vitamin B3 ensures the normal functions of the nervous system and digestive system.
