Nuts that can DAMAGE your brain
1. Peanuts (when not properly stored)
Improperly stored peanuts can develop aflatoxins, toxins produced by fungi that directly affect brain and liver cells. Although not all peanuts are affected, they are one of the nuts most sensitive to humidity and heat.
Risk: inflammation, cell damage, and concentration problems.
2. Overly Salted Pistachios
Natural pistachios are healthy, but the most commonly consumed are roasted pistachios with high amounts of salt. Excess sodium increases blood pressure, which impairs cerebral circulation.
Risk: reduced brain oxygenation, dizziness, and mental fatigue.
