Brazil nuts are considered a superfood due to its high levels of nutrients and antioxidants:

·      Selenium: plays a crucial role on your immune system by decreasing inflammation by lowering oxidative stress. By lowering oxidative stress, consuming Brazil nuts can also be effective in reducing asthma symptoms. This essential antioxidant helps maintain a healthy thyroid gland by protecting it from oxidative damage.

·      Calcium: helps maintain healthy skin, bones, and hair.

·      Arginine: an amino acid that gets converted to nitric oxide in your body to help dilate your blood vessels, lowering the risks of getting a blood clot. This nut can play a role on preventing heart disease.

·      Omega-3 fatty acids: a good cholesterol that plays a role in reducing cardiovascular problems.

·      Lecithin: a fatty substance that enhances the neurotransmitters responsible for brain function – this can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
