巴西坚果是完整蛋白质和ω-6脂肪酸、维生素E和B复合物以及硒、锌、铜和锰等矿物质的极好来源。这是一种不含麸质的食物，通常作为乳糜泻患者的小麦替代品。巴西坚果有助于降低低密度脂蛋白（坏胆固醇），提升血液中的高密度脂蛋白（好胆固醇），有助于降低中风和心脏病的风险。

巴西坚果也是硒的最佳天然来源，使其成为增强免疫系统的最佳食物，并能够帮助降低乳腺癌、食道癌、肝癌、胃癌、前列腺癌和结肠癌风险。硒对甲状腺功能，以及预防血液凝固和冠状动脉疾病至关重要。巴西坚果是运动员和希望提升力量和耐力的人的完美食物，还有益于神经和认知健康，因为可以帮助改善记忆和神经功能。

巴西坚果油数千年被用作皮肤问题的治疗药物，例如皮肤干裂、老茧、皮疹、烧伤、瘀伤、湿疹和牛皮癣。巴西坚果油也经常用作芳香疗法和按摩疗法的基础油。

巴西坚果脆且甜美，是营养和能量的集中来源。事实上每天只需要2-4个巴西坚果就可以获得其完整的营养和健康益处。可以切碎撒在色拉上，加入新鲜柠檬和新鲜草药，或加入果昔等。

注：各类坚果有健康益处，但摄入量以每天不超过手掌中握起一把的量为宜，以避免饮食中摄入过量的油脂和脂肪。如果想要进行深层净化和疗愈，建议完全避免油脂和脂肪（包括健康脂肪和油脂）。更多信息，请见：油脂和脂肪的迷思（无油脂饮食是否会缺乏营养？不吃任何油脂或脂肪会对健康不利吗？）

Brazilian Nuts

 

Brazil nuts are an excellent source of complete protein and omega-6 fatty acids as well as vitamins E & B-complex and minerals such as selenium, zinc, copper, and manganese. They are a gluten-free food and are often used as alternative to wheat for those who suffer with celiac disease. Brazil nuts are known to help lower LDL “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL “good” cholesterol in the blood which can help to reduce the risk of strokes and heart disease.

 

They are also the highest natural source of selenium which makes it an ideal food for strengthening the immune system and helping to reduce the risk of breast, esophageal, liver, stomach, prostate, and colon cancers. Selenium is also vital for thyroid gland function and for helping to prevent blood clotting and coronary artery disease. Brazil nuts are the perfect food for athletes and those looking to increase strength and endurance. They are also good for neurological and cognitive health as they can help to improve memory and nerve function.

 

Brazil nuts are crunchy and sweet and are a concentrated source of nutrition and energy. In fact, only 2-4 nuts a day are needed to obtain all their complete nutritional and health benefits. Consider chopping them up and sprinkling over a salad with a squeeze of fresh lemon and fresh herbs or adding a few to a smoothie or trail mix.

 

Brazil nut oil has been used for thousands of years as a therapeutic remedy for skin problems such as dry cracked skin, calluses, rashes, burns, bruises, eczema, and psoriasis. Brazil nut oil is also often used as a carrier or base oil for aromatherapy and massage therapy applications. Brazil nuts can be found online or at your local health food store.
