Scientists at the University of California asked a group of young men in their 20s and 30s to eat 75 grams of walnuts every day for three months.

Researchers chose walnuts because they are a major source of "good" polyunsaturated fats, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
Walnuts are rich in omega 3 and omega 6
