Nuts are rich in vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.
However, some of them can be dangerous to health if consumed without proper instructions.
Nutritionist Maria Shubina told the Zhivaya Kuban publication which nuts are most dangerous to health.
Dangerous Nuts
Peanut
One of the most common nuts, but it can be dangerous because it contains aflatoxin. The toxin is produced by mold fungi that often infect peanuts.
Aflatoxin weakens the immune system and increases the risk of infection in the body.
Eating peanuts in large quantities may also cause developmental delays in children.
Almond
Almonds are one of the most common nut allergens.
People with nut allergies may experience swelling and difficulty breathing when eating almonds.
Macadamia
Macadamia contains a lot of fat and calories. Excessive consumption of it can lead to weight gain and metabolic disorders.
Healthy Nuts
Walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts are the best choices for maintaining health.
They help maintain heart function, improve brain function and strengthen the immune system.
The expert stated that the correct choice of nuts will bring maximum benefit to the body.
