Walnuts Increase Satiety<\/h2>\n

They Improve Mood<\/h2>\n

Walnuts contain valuable nutrients for emotional balance.<\/strong> Among these are essential fatty acids that participate in the synthesis of wellness neurotransmitters such as serotonin, also known as the mood hormone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adding walnuts to salads also increases the amount of fiber that feeds gut bacteria,<\/strong> whose balance also influences mood.<\/p>\n
