Consumption of nuts does not impact cholesterol levels. Our research re-
vealed that the consumption of cashews had no adverse effect on LDL (bad)
cholesterol levels. Notably, it substantially increased HDL (good) cholesterol
levels; moreover, weight, blood sugar, and HbA1c levels remain unaffected.
Nuts are also a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and fibre. Remarkably,
the consumption of cashews was associated with a decrease in blood sugar
levels. Consequently, we can confidently conclude that all types of nuts
benefit individuals with diabetes.

Dr Chetan Bargi, MBBS & MD,

Cashew nuts are highly nutritious. They improve our cardiac health and
vision, strengthen our bones, and help digestion. They are a good source of
protein. They contain most of the micronutrients required by our body. Their
fat content is significantly less, and whatever fat they provide is essential for
our body. I recommend consuming cashews regularly in a moderate quantity.

Dr Nutan Meharwade, MBBS & MD,
Sparsha Hospital
Cashews are rich in essential nutrients such as iron, copper, zinc, potas-
sium, manganese, and various micro-nutrients that play a crucial role in
enhancing the body's overall immune system.

This delightful nut is highly recommended for working women and growing
children. Contrary to popular belief, cashews contain zero cholesterol and
contribute to heart health by increasing the levels of LDL and HDL in the
body. These micronutrients actively combat superoxide radicals, delaying
ageing and aiding cancer prevention.

Gynaecologists are increasingly recommending them for treating anaemia in
pregnant patients
