Health Benefit of cashew nuts: 

1- Cashews are a good source of magnesium, which is vital for the healthy development of bones, muscles, tissues, and organs of the body.(1,3) 

2- The presence of very low amounts of sugar and no harmful cholesterol in cashews makes them safe for diabetic patients. This even helps in lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.(1,4) 

3- Cashews are rich in copper, which helps in the metabolism of iron, aids in the formation of red blood cells (RBC), and helps in keeping the bones and immune system healthy.(1,5)

4- Cashews provide phosphorus, which is essential for the healthy development of teeth and bones. (1,6) 

5- Cashews are a source of dietary iron which is vital for carrying oxygen around the body and aids in the functioning of enzymes and the immune system. A deficiency of iron in the diet can lead to fatigue, anaemia and an increased susceptibility to infections.(1,7) 

6- A regular inclusion of healthy nuts like cashews can help lower the risk of formation of gallstones.(1,8)
