Description

“The pine nut helps to reduce cholesterol, as well as the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, it's great for stabilizing mood”, nutritionist Bárbara de Almeida Araújo explains to NiT.

The specialist also adds that she promotes eye health and slows agingAnd now, the reason why it's being talked about so much: helps control weight, since promotes the secretion of cholecystokinin — a hormone that slows gastric emptying and decreases appetite.
