Filberts are more commonly known as hazelnuts, however filberts are
a slightly larger than hazelnuts. Filberts are used to flavor foods
such as ice cream, chocolate, tea and coffee. They are a good
source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, vitamins E, B1,
B2 and B6, folate, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium,
protein and dietary fiber. Other benefits that you can obtain by
adding them to your diet include the following.
Filberts can help you to lower your cholesterol levels, and thereby
prevent high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart disease and
stroke. Filberts can also help to relax your blood vessels to
increase the blood flow. This makes it easier on your heart.
Filberts are a good source of folate which can help you to prevent
cancer.
Filberts contain B vitamins which are essential for a healthy mind,
especially during early childhood. In addition, the folate can help
to protect your mind against depression and Alzheimer’s
disease.
The antioxidants in filberts will help you to remove harmful free
radical from your body, so that you can prevent premature aging.
Studies show that free radicals are the major cause of aging, and
thus if you eliminate them you can prevent wrinkles and age related
diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s
and arthritis.
