nuts

 

According to a study from the New England Journal of Medicine people who eat just 35 grams of nuts every day had a 20 percent less chance of dying over a 30-year period. The same group also had much lower rates of heart disease. In fact, there was a 29% reduction in deaths from heart disease for nut eaters. There was also an 11% decrease in the risk of cancer.

 

Some people may worry that eating nuts can lead to obesity¹. But the study showed that nut eaters are actually significantly lighter².

 

Moreover, the beneficial effects were the same for a wide variety of nuts. This includes both peanuts and tree nuts like walnuts³, pistachios, pine nuts and hazelnuts.

 

The researchers are still trying to understand the mechanism⁴ for their beneficial effects. They believe there are substances in nuts that help our metabolism⁵ in a positive way.

 

I think it may be a good time to start eating more nuts.
