Popis: Cashew nut is very favourite fruit among us which can be taken through snacks and meal and it is easily found in local market. Nuts played a vital role in diets of many cultures for centuries due to its high energy and nutritional value as well as its number of variety of flavours and taste. In addition a handful of cashew nuts in daily diet have been linked with several health benefits during the last many years due to its particular nutritional composition. Cashew nuts have a high content of unsaturated FA (fatty acids) both mono‐ and polyunsaturated FA. It also contains variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytosterols, and fibres. A handful of cashew nuts in daily diet is associated not only to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease but it also helps in prevention of diabetes, weight gain, Gallstone, migraine headache. The benefits of the addition of Cashew nuts is a healthy diet in front of a low‐fat diet have been recently highlighted by Estruch et al 2013 confirming that the incidence of major cardiovascular events and mortality is 30% lower for those individuals consuming a Mediterranean diet supplemented with a handful of cashew nuts a day compared to those that are advised to consume a low‐fat diet. British Journal of Nutrition published research in which identified various nuts among plant foods having greater antioxidant content, Cashew nuts have high antioxidant content which may lead to their cardio-protective benefits. Nuts' having greater antioxidant category helps to explain results in which risk of death from cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases showed strong and consistently reductions with increasing nut/peanut butter consumption. Total death rates decreased 11% and 19% for nut and butter intake once per week and 1-4 times per week, respectively. Even more wide variety of results of a review study, taking a handful of cashew nuts have lower risk of coronary heart disease, also published in the British Journal of Nutrition. In the above research study, researchers looked at four large prospective epidemiological studies—the Iowa Women's Study, Adventist Health Study Nurses' Health Study and the Physician's Health Study. Evidence from all four studies was combined the net result will be, Peoples those taking Cashew nuts at least 4 times a week shows a 37% decreased risk of coronary heart disease compared to those who had never or seldom take cashew nuts.
