Pecans are more than just pie or trail mix ingredients. The health properties in pecans are vast and may help to improve digestive health, cardiovascular problems, bone health, and aid with weight loss. People may argue that pecans are bad because they contain fats, but those people don’t understand that the fats in pecans help to boost antioxidant production and reduce inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecan Fact: <\/strong>The pecan pie, which Americans have come to know and love, is actually a classic South American dish that features pecans as the primary ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good For Heart Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pecans are beneficial for your heart because of their antioxidant content<\/a>. The monounsaturated fats also work to prevent coronary artery disease and stroke, but only if you are making other dietary changes to decrease your risk of heart disease. Pecans also help to inhibit the oxidation of blood lipids, which may reduce the risk of heart disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduces Inflammation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The copper in pecans works to strengthen the anti-inflammatory properties, especially in people with arthritis or joint pain<\/a>. Pecans are commonly recommended to those who have arthritis. Studies have shown that increasing magnesium intake<\/a> can help reduce chronic inflammation, and pecans have magnesium! Just don\u2019t eat too many at once<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boosts The Immune System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pecans are rich in manganese, which is a powerful trace mineral and potent antioxidant that works to protect nerve cells from free radical damage<\/a>. Regular intake of manganese is essential for healthy brain and nerve function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecan Fact: <\/strong>The name \u201cPecan\u201d literally translates to \u201ca nut requiring a stone to crack.\u201d They were pretty literal with naming things back in the day, since you have to crack the shell in order to eat the pecan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rich, buttery flavor of pecans is what makes them great to use in homemade energy bites or desserts. April 14th<\/sup> is National Pecan Day, so let\u2019s make some recipes!
