Find out some fascinating cashew facts, including whether or not these nuts are good for you

What are cashew nuts?

Cashews are often referred to as a nut, but botanically they are classed as a seed, as they come from the cashew fruit (which is also known as a drupe). Drupes are fruits that are fleshy on the outside, but contain a shell with a seed on the inside. Cashew plants belong to a group of plants known as anacardiaceae, which includes mango, sumac and poison ivy.

Cashew trees grow in warmer climates, such as India and Vietnam, who are some of the world’s biggest producers of cashew nuts. You can buy cashew nuts all year round in the UK as, depending on what part of the world they are grown, they are harvested at different times of the year.

Cashews are small and kidney shaped, pale yellow in colour, and have a rich, nutty and slightly sweeter taste than peanuts. They can be eaten raw, roasted, as a nut butter or cooked in curries, stir-fries and bakes.

30g of raw cashew nuts contains:

2mg iron

88mg magnesium

1.7mg zinc

Nutritionally, cashew nuts are a good source of protein and unsaturated fat. A 30g serving contains about 160 calories, but because they are rich in protein and unsaturated fat, they provide a greater satiety level.

*Diabetic Nigerians find hope as eating onions may cut blood sugar by 50% – Study* - Smith Gibby
easylife2live@gmail.com

A recent study has unveiled promising news for the millions of Nigerians grappling with diabetes.
Research indicates that incorporating onions into the diet may significantly reduce blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, potentially lowering them by as much as 50%.
The study was presented at The Endocrine Society’s 97th annual meeting in San Diego.
“Onion is cheap and available and has been used as a nutritional supplement,” said lead investigator Anthony Ojieh, MBBS (MD), MSc, of Delta State University in Abraka, Nigeria.
“It has the potential for use in treating patients with diabetes.”

The extract of onion bulb, Allium cepa, strongly lowered high blood glucose (sugar) and total cholesterol levels in diabetic rats when given the antidiabetic drug metformin.

Research highlights and findings

In the study, diabetic rats were divided into groups and administered metformin alone, metformin with various doses of onion extract, or neither.

To three groups of rats with medically induced diabetes, Ojieh and his colleagues gave metformin and varying doses of onion extract–200, 400 and 600 milligrams per kilograms of body weight daily (mg/kg/day)–to see if it would enhance the drug’s effects.

They also gave metformin and onion extract to three groups of nondiabetic rats with normal blood sugar, for comparison.

Two control groups, one nondiabetic and one diabetic, received neither metformin nor onion extract.

Another two groups (one with diabetes, one without) received only metformin and no onion extract. Each group contained five rats.

Two doses of onion extract, 400 and 600 mg/kg/day, strongly reduced fasting blood sugar levels in diabetic rats by 50 per cent and 35 percent, respectively, compared with “baseline” levels at the start of the study before the rodents received onion extract, Ojieh reported.

If you eat too much you will be OBESE
If think too much you will be DEPRESSED
If you expect too much you will be DISAPPOINTED
If you trust too much you will be BETRAYED
If you spend too much you will be BROKE
if you look too much you will LOOSE FOCUS
if you love too much you will be LOST
if you talk too much you will LIE
if you pursue life too much you will LOOSE EVERYTHING
if you love too much you will be taken for GRANTED
The moral is simple. Moderation is key to fulfilment in life and excess of anything can lead to ruin. Be moderate in everything you do!
