Walnuts

Walnuts are good sources of:  1) Omega-3 fatty acids, protective fats that may promote cardiovascular health, help maintain optimal cognitive function, and tone down inflammation. 2) Heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. 3) Ellagic acid, an antioxidant compound that helps support a healthy immune system. 4) L-arginine, an essential amino acid that promotes healthy blood pressure. Try adding walnuts to your hot or cold breakfast cereals, eat them as a snack, use walnut oil in salad dressings, and add to pie crusts for a nutritional boost.
