Are nuts healthy for Parkinson's?

Let's talk nuts

You like to eat nuts and have the problem to swallow up? You have to cough or you can't swallow the hard, spiky crumbs? You are not alone. This is a very typical problem with Parkinson's. I know this problem very well from my patients.
But nuts are so healthy for you, provided you don't have an allergy!!!

Why are nuts so healthy and valuable for you if you suffer from Parkinson's?

But first, let's clarify what nuts are?

We want to consider here not only the nuts , which count in the narrow botanical sense as a nut, but also the varieties that we also call nuts in everyday life:
There are: Hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios,...

The most valuable for your nutrition, so to speak the queen among nuts, is the walnut.

Benefits Nuts - What they give you

They are high caloric They have: high density of micronutrients (vitamins B group, vitamin E, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus,...) They have: Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega 3 and omega 6, and many other valuable ingredients

Disadvantages Allergies High risk of coughing and swallow up

SOLUTION - THIS IS HOW YOU CAN USE THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF THE NUT FOR YOURSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE TINY SHARP BITS:

Try to use nut butter. For me, nut butter is a fabulous thing. Do not eat it straight from the jar (this is sticky and very difficult to swallow - read below how to use nut butter There are a lot of varieties like almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, pistachio butter, seed butter, mixed nut butter,… Easy to make yourself with a powerful household mixer

HOW TO USE Blend nut butter together with your smoothie ingredients. Your smoothie will become super creamy and super easy to drink or to spoon. If you like to spoon your smoothie, what is very good, because you have less volume, use less water Nut butter is ideal for thickening soups, sauces. In this way you can easily adjust the consistency of your food to your needs. Some nut butters are tasteless, some are more flavorful. Boil up if you use it in a hot meal. You will be surprised how much it thickens.
