We love things that help to clean up the gut.
Walnuts help to change the gut bacteria in a way that it suppresses colon cancer. Walnuts are already beneficial for high cholesterol and increasing omega-3 fatty acid in the body. They are great for weight control and heart health. They are even good for your brain.
A group of researchers studied mice to discover the effects of walnuts on colon cancer. They found that the the mice who consumed about 10% of their total calories in walnuts developed fewer colon cancers. The male rats saw the most significant results at about two and a half times fewer tumors when consuming walnuts as part of their diet. The amount fed to the mice was about the same as a human eating an ounce of walnuts per day.
Your health begins in your gut. If you are already diagnosed with cancer it is important to maintain a healthy gut throughout whatever treatment you are receiving so you do not develop leaky gut.
