İnsanlar zamanla beslenme alışkanlıklarında köklü değişikliklere gitmişlerdir. Yapılan birçok araştırmada, insanların beslenme alışkanlıkları ile karşılaştıkları hastalıklar arasında bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bundan dolayı günümüze baktığımızda, sağlıklı bir yaşam sürdürmek isteyen insanlar beslenmelerine dikkat ettiği görülmektedir. İnsanların beslenmesinde önemli bir yer tutan protein, lipitler vekarbonhidratyaşayan organizmaların yaşamını devam ettirmesi için en önemli enerji kaynaklarıdır. Fındık, badem, ceviz ve Antep fıstığı gibi meyveler, yüksek miktarda lipit içerirken tekli ve çoklu doymamış yağ formunda olması bu meyvelerin insan sağlığı için birçok yararlı etkilerini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Genel olarak baktığımızda sert kabuklu meyvelerde bulunan yağ asitleri sağlıklı ve dengeli beslenmede önemli bir diyet grubu içerisindedir. Sert kabuklu meyveler enerji değeri yüksek ve besin içeriği yönünden de oldukça zengindir. Besin çeşitliliğinin ve sağlığın iyileştirilmesi yönünden sert kabuklu meyveler günlük önerilen miktarlarda tüketilmesi önemlidir.

The Importance of FattyAcids in Nuts in terms of Human Health

Öz

People's eating habits have undergone radical changes over time. The correlation between people's eating habits and the diseases has been widely reported in many studies. Therefore, people pay great attention to their diet for a healthy life. Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, which play a significant role in human nutrition, are the most important energy sources for the survival of living organisms. Nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, and pistachios contain substantial amounts of lipids, in the form of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have demonstrated numerous beneficial effects for human. In general, the fatty acids found in nuts are an important dietary component for a healthy and balanced diet. Nuts are high in energy value and rich in nutritional content. To improve nutritional diversity and health, it is essential to consume nuts in the daily recommended amounts.
