Walnuts offer anti-aging benefits
Walnut
Walnuts are among the oldest known nuts and have been used in dry skin remedies across many cultures.
They help replenish moisture in the body and may relieve symptoms caused by dryness, such as constipation, chronic cough, and dry skin.
In traditional Chinese medicine, natural aging is seen as closely connected to a decline in kidney function. Walnuts are believed to nourish and support kidney energy, which is why they’re often recommended for their anti-aging benefits.
They may also be helpful for symptoms related to kidney health, such as lower back discomfort, sensitivity to cold, and occasional ringing in the ears.
However, walnuts can be a bit heavy on the digestive system, so if you tend to have a sensitive stomach or are prone to loose stools, it’s best to enjoy them in moderation.
