10 Benefits of Macadamia Nuts
Benefit #8: Healthy Fats
Fats are usually given a bad name in healthy-living circles. They are often blamed for a lot of serious conditions, and much of the time their reputation is well deserved. Not all fats are bad, though, and we need to have some fats in our diet to help with numerous different body functions.
Macadamia nuts actually contain quite a lot of fat. Indeed, they are made up of around 75% fat. These are all good fats, though, and getting plenty of macadamia nuts in your diet will help you to maintain a healthy lipid profile. What’s more is that it also helps to increase levels of HDL (good) cholesterol which, in turn, helps to reduce levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
