What is Nuts & Seeds?

Rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fats that protect the skin barrier and provide moisture

Includes almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. They are excellent sources of vitamin E (tocopherol) and omega-3 (ALA).

Characteristics & nutrition facts

Nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseed are rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that can help respond to oxidative stress in cell membranes, and unsaturated fats are known to contribute to barrier composition and moisture retention. A notable feature is that walnuts, flaxseed, and chia seeds also supply plant-based omega-3.

How to manage

Using about a handful a day (roughly 25–30 g) as a guide is a useful reference for eating them while reducing the calorie burden. Choosing unsalted, unsweetened products is generally recommended. Because they are prone to rancidity, it is best to store them sealed in a cool place and eat them while fresh.

Good to know alongside

Eating them together with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C is a useful reference for an antioxidant nutrition combination. Those with a nut allergy need caution in choosing types.

Everyday care tips

Chia seeds and flaxseed are easy to eat sprinkled on yogurt or salad. Eating flaxseed ground rather than whole can help with nutrient absorption.
