'Walnut consumption linked to reduced inflammation and lower colon cancer risk'

"Ellagitannins in the walnut are importantly providing the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties that we're seeing in patients in our clinical trial research, particularly the gut's conversion of ellagitannins to a potent anti-inflammatory agent, urolithin A"

"There are many potential benefits one can get from eating walnuts, with so little downside risk, that just grabbing a handful every day is really something that you can easily do for your long-term health benefit."

Eating walnuts for breakfast may enhance brain function throughout the day in young adults, according to a new study.

Researchers at the University of Reading found that consuming 50 grams (~1.8 ounces) of walnuts (about a handful) mixed into muesli and yogurt led to quicker reaction times and improved memory later in the day, compared to an equivalent calorie-matched breakfast without nuts.

"A walnut #tree produces #flowers of one sex, then the other in the same season, but trees differ in which one comes first. Individual trees are consistently male-first or female-first in flowering."

Three new extinct walnut species discovered in high Arctic mummified forest.

Today, the Canadian island of Axel Heiberg is a frozen desert devoid of nearly all life. But 45 million years ago, it supported a lush rainforest on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Since then, the forest has been buried first beneath layers of sediment, then accumulated ice, leaving it frozen in time.

#BilboToday The #walnuts are ripe, unfortunately mostly hollow or tiny due to the drought. We met a ravenous Krächzel who effectively cracked them by chucking them in flight onto the road. How do I know that this #raven was Krächzel? He didn't fly away and chattered with Bilbo. I'll tell you about their unusual friendship in the next #podcast episode of #NatureMatchCuts cronenburg.net/naturematchcuts #nature #ReconnectingWithNature #DogsOfMastodon #hiking

www.cronenburg.netNature Match Cuts – The Podcast Reconnecting You With Nature – Petra van CronenburgNatureMatchCuts is exploring marvels of biodiversity and fascinating cultural heritage. Listen to inspiring stories from the intersections of science and nature writing, cultural knowledge and art! In a confusing and challenging time of crisis and multiple transitions, we need to overcome the obstacles on our way to solutions and change: our anthropocentric and disconnected view of life. The more-than-human life should get a strong voice of storytelling.
