6. Heart Health

Macadamia nuts contain high amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids that prevent platelets from becoming sticky and forming clots in blood vessels. This benefit can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The American Heart Association has conducted research showing men who consume nuts high in monounsaturated fats are less likely to have fatal heart attacks. Monounsaturated fat also helps the body balance the level of bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL.
