May be good for your brain

Brazil nuts are high in ellagic acid and selenium, both of which are beneficial to the brain. Ellagic acid is a polyphenol found in Brazil nuts. It possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities that may have antidepressant and protective benefits on your brain. Selenium, as an antioxidant, may also contribute to brain health. For six months, elderly persons with cognitive impairment ate one Brazil nut every day. In addition to having higher selenium levels, they had better verbal fluency and mental function.

Low selenium levels have been linked to neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, thus maintaining appropriate intake is critical. Furthermore, some evidence suggests that selenium supplementation may help mediate a bad mood, which is significantly connected with insufficient selenium intake. However, the findings are contradictory, and more research is required.
