California walnuts are very filling, so a simple handful can help control appetite throughout the day. This is why numerous scientific studies confirm that consuming walnuts as part of a healthy diet can help with weight loss, thanks to the long-lasting feeling of satiety they provide. Just one serving is enough to notice their benefits. Just a handful a day (about 30 g, the equivalent of 14 walnut halves) is enough to reap all their benefits.
Furthermore, they are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. In fact, the Spanish Heart Foundation (FEC) recommends them as perfect allies for the heart.
