Recent research shows that eating a handful of nuts a day may help appetite, and even erode the fat in the abdomen. The researchers claim that this is the first findings that show, use notes, the level of serotonin, a hormone that controls appetite and more happiness and health of the heart can reduce impact.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona, Spain, indicating, for the magic effects, you only need about 30 grams of raw walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts per day to consume.
Researchers hope the findings published in the Journal of Proteome Research is beneficial for patients with metabolic syndrome (METS) is characterized by abdominal obesity, high blood sugar and high blood pressure (hypertension).
Changes in diet with regular consumption of nuts contain healthy fats and antioxidants believed to help patients cope with the problem of obesity, reducing the risk of type two diabetes and heart disease.
The team, led by Cristina Andris-Lacueva work with the Human Nutrition Unit of the University Rovira i Virgili says, “Increased excretion of serotonin metabolites for the first time in connection with the consumption of peanuts.”
During the study, the scientists involved 22 volunteers who suffer from metabolic syndrome. They are fed a fortified peanut for 12 weeks and another group of 20 volunteers also go on a diet, but not regular nuts. After the researchers then do the checker urine of patients.
The result, volunteers who ate 30 grams of beans per day had higher levels of serotonin. About 90 percent of serotonin is in the gut, while the rest can be found in the central nervous system that regulates mood and appetite.
Another study in the United States Department of Agriculture published in the British Journal of Nutrition earlier this year found that pistachio nuts (nuts) may help you lose weight and promoting heart health.
Lead researcher David Baer said: “Pistachios offer a variety of health benefits, including weight control and cardiovascular health.”
