Macadamia Nuts

Macadamia or macadamia nut is a fruit rich in nutrients such as fiber, protein, healthy fats, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium, and B vitamins and vitamins A and E, for example.

Health Benefits:

Helps you lose weight
Despite being a high-calorie nut, macadamia is rich in good monounsaturated fats such as palmitoleic acid, also known as omega 7, which helps produce enzymes responsible for burning fat, increasing metabolism and reducing fat storage.

Protects against cardiovascular diseases
The monounsaturated fats in macadamia nuts act by increasing the burning and absorption of fats and, therefore, help reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides, which are responsible for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction or atherosclerosis.

Helps lower cholesterol
The palmitoleic acid present in macadamia nuts helps reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides, which are responsible for the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries, which become narrower and less flexible, causing atherosclerosis that can lead to heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.

Prevents diabetes
Some studies show that macadamia nuts protect against the development of metabolic syndrome, characterized by high blood sugar levels that can lead to diabetes, and may be an important ally in preventing this disease. Furthermore, metabolic syndrome also involves an increase in bad cholesterol and triglycerides.
