Benefits of Candlenut: 

Maintain Heart Health: Candlenuts are very beneficial for people whose cholesterol levels are outside of the normal and healthy range because these tree nuts help increase the levels of good cholesterol (HDL or high-density lipoprotein) and in the process lowering the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL or low-density lipoprotein). One of the many nutrients in candlenuts is potassium, which is well-known for its ability to lower high blood pressure. The way potassium works is this: it causes the relaxation of the walls of the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more freely throughout the system. This helps save the heart from being overworked and becoming large.

Improves Joints and Bones Health: Regular consumption of candlenuts helps save the joints from becoming achy and swollen due to regular wear and tear. Including candlenuts in the diet more often is also good for keeping bones strong. According to nutrition experts, phosphorous, which can be found in candlenuts, is also vital for it.  

Lose Weight: Candlenuts contain heavy amounts of protein. Its exactly for this reason why consuming them can help in building muscles. Candlenuts are certainly ideal for people who are trying to lose weight due to the muscle-building protein that these tree nuts have the bigger the muscles, the faster the metabolism. Additionally, protein is something that causes the body to burn lots of calories as it can be extra challenging for the GI tract to have it digested.

Improve Digestion: Candlenuts are excellent sources of fiber, and thats why their inclusion in the diet can be very beneficial for the GI tract. Regular use of these tree nuts can help facilitate the digestive process. Consuming them on a regular basis also helps promote regular bowel movement because the oils they contain serve as mild laxatives. Traditional healers recommend candlenuts to individuals who are suffering from diarrhea because its fiber content can help in adding bulk to stools, therefore putting an end to diarrhea. Candlenuts also have antimicrobial properties, and its no secret that most cases of diarrhea are due to the ingestion of contaminated food and water.
