Walnut For Weight Loss

If walnuts are eaten every day, they can boost fat loss and promote healthy body weight. They can also help reduce hunger due to the presence of omega-3 fatty acids, plant sterols and vitamins that help in reducing craving. Walnuts also promote gut health which is necessary for weight management.
