Which Nuts are Good for the Prostate?

We all know that nuts are not only an excellent appetizer for beer, but also very healthy. Regular nut consumption has a number of benefits for human health.

As men age, more and more men have prostate problems. One way to deal with them is to include nuts, which are good for the prostate in their menu.

Among the nuts good for the prostate, we have placed almonds in first place. Just 1/4 cup of almonds provides almost half of a person's daily requirement for manganese and vitamin E - two nutrients that are essential for prostate health. The mineral manganese is necessary for the production of sperm and sex hormones and plays a role in supporting overall reproductive health.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can destroy free radicals, but it is also an important ally in the fight against prostate cancer. Another benefit of almonds is that most of the fat they contain is monounsaturated fat.

Brazil nuts are also among the nuts that are good for the prostate. They are an exceptional source of the antioxidant selenium. Just 30 g of Brazil nuts provide nearly 550 micrograms of selenium, which is ten times more than the 55 micrograms that men need per day. Selenium not only destroys free radicals, but also helps strengthen the immune system.

Pistachios should also be present in a man’s menu because they are good for the prostate. Pistachios were the subject of a 2011 study in which researchers found that men who ate the nuts had an improvement in erectile function.

Specifically, men who had suffered from erectile dysfunction for at least a year and then ate 100 grams of pistachios every day for three weeks experienced significant improvement.

Walnuts - If you're looking for nuts that are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts are the answer. Just a quarter cup of walnuts provides almost 100% of a person's daily need for omega-3 fatty acids.

Walnuts are also special because they provide a very good amount of vitamin E. Walnuts may also be helpful in fighting prostate cancer.
