So lets start preparing mouth watering and yummy sugar free cashew coconut ladoos and you should know their health benefits as well.

For Sugar Free Cashews Coconut Ladoos we do need below ingredients with required measurements.

• Eat, Enjoy and do not forget to share your experience. 

Note:

• you can substitute the honey with rice malt syrup if preferred.

CASHEWS’ NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

Improves bone and joint health

Cashews’ magnesium and copper content work in concert to strengthen bone mass. Most of the magnesium in your body is stored in the bones, so if you’re deficient, your bones will suffer. Copper helps keep bones and joints flexible by synthesizing collagen and elastin.

Relaxes nerves 

Magnesium in cashews prevents calcium from over-activating nerve cells, therefore relaxing them. This action keeps your blood vessels and muscles relaxed as well. (You may notice that if your magnesium levels are low, you often get muscle cramps.)

Keeps skin and hair healthy

The copper in cashews helps to manufacture various enzymes involved in hemoglobin and collagen formation.Collagen is the main structural protein found in hair and skin that gives it elasticity – so you can think of copper as one of the precursors to your luscious locks.

Aids in weight management

Cashews contain less fat than other popular nuts including peanuts, pecans, almonds, and walnuts. Yet what makes them a winning “weight loss nut” is that they are nutrient- and energy-dense, and high in fiber, which makes them more filling — a boon for managing weight

Dried Coconut Health Benefits
If nutritious value alone isn’t a good enough reason for you to start eating this fruit, the health benefits of dried coconut should change your mind

It strengthens you connective tissuesYour skin, ligaments, bones, and tendons fall into the category of connective tissues. They contain a great number of minerals, which means that deficiency of any of these elements affects this particular part of your body. Keeping your connective tissues strong should be one of your health priorities as any problems with them endanger your life and make your existence as a whole highly uncomfortable. Desiccated coconut contains a wide range of minerals that are easy for your body to absorb and process. Therefore, including it in your diet will prevent mineral deficiency and reduce the risk of many serious diseases, such as arthritis and osteoporosis. 

It promotes your brain functionThe health benefits of dried coconut don’t make you smarter, but they help improve and promote a healthy brain function. Some of the chemicals contained in the coconut meat promote the production of neurotransmitters as well as myelin. The latter is the fatty coating that covers neurons and allows them to transmit electrical signals that come from or to the brain more efficiently. Note that any damage to myelin cover of your neurons leads to severe neurological problems. Coconut is so effective in protecting this particular part of your body and promoting your brain health as a whole that coconut oil has recently received acknowledgement from the researchers who are looking for an efficient treatment for Alzheimer’s. According to the results of some studies, it helps slow down the progression of the disease as well as prevent it.

It helps lower your blood cholesterol levelsAs any other source of healthy fats, desiccated coconut lowers your levels of LDL cholesterol while increasing the level of HDL cholesterol. Therefore, it strengthens your arteries and promotes cardiovascular health.

It prevents anemiaIron deficiency anemia is a common health issue that often affects women. The condition in itself isn’t dangerous, but it lowers your natural protections as well as affects your overall condition. Anemia causes bouts of dizziness, which can lead to accidents. It also makes it easier for bacteria and viruses to attack your body. Consider your iron intake when you plan your meal plan as people rarely receive enough of this mineral from food. One of the main health benefits of dried coconut comes from its high iron content. Adding dried coconut to some of your foods will help you reach the daily requirement of this particular mineral.
