Many nutrition experts believe that cashew nuts contain important nutrients that help the body increase natural collagen production.
According to experts at the Cleveland Clinic Medical Center (USA), cashews are rich in copper, zinc and protein, which are essential components for collagen formation. Collagen is a protein that helps firm the skin, reduce wrinkles and maintain skin elasticity. When the body is supplemented with all these minerals, collagen production will be more effective.
Not only good for the skin, cashews also bring benefits to cardiovascular health. According to the American Heart Association, nuts such as cashews contain monounsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL), thereby supporting reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, nutritionist Kathy McManus, Director of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard School of Public Health, USA), said that eating a small amount of nuts each day can help improve cardiovascular health and support weight control.
To take advantage of the benefits of cashew nuts, experts recommend:
Eat about 20-30g of cashews per day.
Prioritize salt-free roasted cashews.
Combine with fruit or yogurt to increase nutrient absorption.
Cashews are not a "miracle food", but if eaten properly and maintained regularly, this is a simple choice that helps both beautify the skin and protect cardiovascular health for a long time.
