Question
A patient inquired whether starting to consume half a walnut daily, while maintaining the habit of eating greens and fruits, would lead to an excessive buildup of body heat over time?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, they already have a good dietary habit, consuming greens and fruits daily. On this foundation, consuming one walnut daily would not cause an upheaval of body heat; instead, it would help supplement the nutrients needed by the brain. Walnuts are a type of nut food rich in protein and nutrients, beneficial for the brain, and even consuming one to two walnuts daily would not cause an upheaval of body heat. Therefore, the patient can rest assured and continue to consume walnuts regularly.
