4. Helps Control Blood Pressure
Because of their high magnesium levels, cashews can go a long way towards keeping your blood pressure under control. This isn’t to say that you don’t need other vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, for the regulation of your blood pressure, but eating an ounce of cashews each day can go a long way towards reaching your goal. That is certainly happy news.
5. Full of Fiber
Fiber should be an important part of our diets as they improve digestion and keep the colon moving. When things in the colon are being expelled each day, they remove toxins from the body as well. So if you experience bouts of constipation, let it be known that eating a handful of cashews each day can help to rectify this problem.
