High priced restaurant food, TV adverts, scientists.
What effect will Cashew and Walnuts have on blood glucose readings. Also Valerian as a sleep assist?
 
Cashews are legumes, not nuts, and are higher carb. Walnuts are excellent and should not have much effect at all. I do not know anything about valerian. Welcome to the forum.
 
I eat macadamia and a few of my own roasted Cajun pumpkin seeds if I need a snack but I keep portions small

Valerian and melatonin always raised me. Now it's a small glass of red wine or a chilled shot of spirits. Works much better for me.
 
I eat a lot of walnuts. They are a good source of omega3, so good for the brain.
 
Walnuts, a couple of brazil nuts and almonds both whole and ground work well for me.
