Good for heart health

The alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, makes up the majority of the fat in walnut oil. When included in your regular diet, this "healthy fat" can cut your risk of heart disease by 10%. The reason for this, according to scientists, is that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce cholesterol levels, therefore maintaining the health and function of your arteries.

Additionally, walnuts lower triglyceride levels, a kind of fat linked to an increased risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. According to one research, walnut oil can even help the body cope with stress by regulating blood pressure and easing the load on the heart. One of the major risk factors for heart disease is excessive blood pressure, which walnut oil may help reduce. Studies indicate that eating a lot of whole walnuts may help decrease blood pressure. This is probably because entire walnuts contain a lot of ALA, LA, and polyphenols. Given that walnut oil contains a lot of these substances as well, it could have comparable benefits.
