A nutritionist, Hajiya Jummai Abdul, has recommended the consumption of cashew fruit juice for enhanced sexual activities, including energy boosting in males and females during intercourse.
Abdul said that the juice also helps in the prevention for heart diseases and stroke.
Abdul, a nutritionist at the Wuse General Hospital, made the recommendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday.
She said: “Cashew fruit contains fats that promote healthy hearts and reduces high triglyceride level that is associated with increased risk of heart diseases.
“Excess calories are stored as triglycerides in the body.
“Triglycerides provide much of the energy for cell function.”
Abdul noted that eating a handful of cashew nuts a day would provide enough essential minerals like manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium for deficiency disease prevention.
She also said that cashew fruits were rich in calcium that enhance healthy muscles and bones in the body, including vitamin C.

“It also helps to promote normal sleep patterns in menopausal women.
“Cashew fruit has high copper content that is vital in energy production, greater flexibility in blood vessels, bones and joints and also high in calories.
