Walnuts

Walnuts uniquely provide significant alpha-linolenic acid, a plant omega-3, plus ellagitannins that convert into urolithins, novel anti-inflammatory compounds. The WAHA trial confirmed daily walnut consumption slashed IL-6 by 11.5% and reduced LDL cholesterol, independent of diet quality. This positions walnuts as 40% richer in anti-inflammatory ellagitannins than #7 Ginger's gingerols, targeting gut-driven inflammation more effectively than the typical tree nut.
