Brain food for a mental reset: nuts and brain power

Even at university, in the office or with a tricky puzzle - no flashes of inspiration without energy. When there's nothing but a yawning void in your brain, delicious nuts come into play. A handful of them will kick-start your thinking engine, get your gray cells going and your concentration up to scratch. The mental blackout in the afternoon is a thing of the past.

For quick first aid and tireless long distances

« Hé, avant de partir, tu pourrais… ? » Blablabla. 

Lorsque l’après-midi s’étire comme un vieux chewing-gum ou que votre réunion n’en finit pas, pensez aux fruits à coque. Grignoter quelques noix, c’est la garantie de ne pas succomber aux bâillements intempestifs et de retrouver de l’énergie pour plusieurs heures. Et ce, sans retomber en hypoglycémie et attendre désespérément le prochain goûter. Car oui, en plus de vous aider à recharger vos batteries immédiatement, les fruits à coque sont également l’allié idéal pour tenir de longues heures tout au long de la journée.  Ils apportent à la fois :  

  • Un coup de boost efficace lorsque vous êtes vraiment à plat (sans tricher avec de la caféine).  
  • Le carburant idéal qui vous fait tenir toute la journée, sans que votre performance ne subisse des hauts et des bas agaçants comme avec d’autres snacks. 

Mais passons maintenant à la question ultime : d’où vient ce regain d’énergie et pourquoi les autres snacks n’arrivent-ils pas à produire le même effet ?

Nutrients in crunchy format

Every nut is packed full of valuable ingredients and you literally get them served on a silver platter. It's not for nothing that nut kernels are considered the most convenient, tastiest and most valuable snack you can treat yourself to. And the list of reasons for this is long.

Fats that fill you up

Nuts are full of good fats that really give you a boost. We're talking about unsaturated fats here - the kind of fat that your heart loves and gives you power that doesn't fizzle out immediately. Unlike saturated fats, which tend to drag you down and are often hidden in snacks, nut fats keep you going for longer. They provide energy that won't let you down.

Nuts are real protein bombs. You need protein to grow, repair yourself and simply stay fit. And when high-quality protein comes together with valuable fats, the result is a top combo that works for you for hours. With this double pack in your stomach, it's finally: Bye bye, hunger pangs!

Fibre that fills you up

In addition, nuts provide plenty of fiber, which not only stimulates the metabolism but also keeps the stomach busy for a long time. They balance blood sugar levels and prevent unwanted energy dips. Your motivation stays high and you avoid annoying snack cravings.

Vitamins and minerals that defend you

Nuts are loaded with essential vitamins (including vitamin E and various B vitamins) and a range of important minerals (e.g. magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium). They play a key role in energy production and boost your immune system. Meaning for you: The natural energy boost comes with helpers for your robust immune system.

Antioxidants that regenerate you

Packed with antioxidants, nuts actively fight cell damage and inflammation, which makes your body even happier. As you can see, nuts provide you with a full range of nutrients that their snacking counterparts such as potato chips & co. can only dream of. That's why these hearty powerhouses are the undisputed snack kings for so many people.

The power is in the team

And once again, nature shows that it has thought about us. Because the valuable components are not lone warriors: the real superpower of nuts is when all their components work together as a team. They don't just work for you on their own: The special mix of precious proteins, good fats, fiber and co. is what makes nuts an unbeatable vitality talent.
