A recent randomized, controlled trial found that consuming a daily serving of walnuts is associated with increased beneficial stomach bacteria.
One of the bacteria, Roseburia, is associated with protection of the gut lining.
Another, Eubacteria eligens, is associated with reduced risk of hypertension.
Numbers of another bacteria, Lachnospiraceae, also went up and is associated with lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
[My commentary]
Snack on walnuts to improve your microbiome. A healthy microbiome is essential to weight management.
