Improve digestive health

Chestnut is beneficial for the stomach and helps with digestion. Chestnut contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and other antioxidant substances such as phytonutrients, which protect our digestive system from free radical damage. This lowers the risk of developing cancers such as colon cancer, abdominal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and intestinal cancer, among others. The laxative qualities of dietary fibers in chestnuts enhance bowel movement and provide relief from constipation as well as other digestive issues such as abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and flatulence, among others.

It lowers the risk of diverticulosis, a disorder that causes inflammation in the small sections of the inner lining of the intestinal walls, due to its anti-inflammatory characteristics. Other minerals in chestnuts, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins, play an important part in supporting intestinal health.
