You know the saying, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend?” Well, cashews are a cleanser’s best friend, unless you are allergic to cashews, of course. They can be eaten as a healthy snack, blended into a raw nut butter, made into a raw vegan cheese sauce, or used as the foundation for a creamy raw dressing. Providing lots of antioxidants that encourage red blood cell formation, cashews definitely need to be added to your cleanse-approved grocery list.
If you are looking for a great source of plant-based protein, eat some cashews. If you need a healthy dose of magnesium, copper, calcium, iron, or potassium, eat some cashews. If you need vitamins C, E, K, and B vitamins, eat some cashews. Need to boost the immune system? You guessed it, eat some cashews.
Cashews are rich in dietary fats, which help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, and E. These healthy fats are beneficial for heart health because they help to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), and the potassium content helps to naturally lower blood pressure. Provide the body with healthy unsaturated fats and your heart will thank you.
