Cashews, raw, unsalted - the natural antidepressant
Cashews are a rich source of tryptophan , which is an essential amino acid in our body. Tryptophan is beneficial for the growth and development of children. The amino acid also regulates mood, improves sleep, behavior, and this can significantly minimize the level of anxiety, stress, and depression .
From just two handfuls of cashews, you can get 1,000 – 2,000 mg of tryptophan . Tryptophan has been shown to be potentially as effective as antidepressants, the main difference being that cashews do not cause side effects.
Other properties
Cashews, nuts with a characteristic buttery flavor, are rich in vitamins E and B6, which can help, according to studies, in the treatment of heart disease. They are also beneficial for controlling blood sugar, which reduces the risk of developing diabetes.
A small handful of cashews is enough to intake the necessary amount of minerals and trace elements, such as phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc , while the antioxidant components they contain protect the body from the negative effects of oxidative stress.
