Here are just a few of the ways:
- Nuts taste good, plus they have the "good" kind of fat that helps lower cholesterol.
- Those who eat nuts on a daily basis are less likely to have a heart attack
- Eating nuts lowers the risk of stroke and developing type 2 diabetes, advanced macular degeneration ( a disease of the eye), dementia and gallstones
- Those who eat nuts regularly add two years to their expected life expectancy
- Nuts have relatively high levels of unsaturated fats and low levels of saturated fats which lower cholesterol levels and therefore, lowers your risk of heart disease
- Nuts are rich in fiber, antioxidants and trace minerals
Studies show that eating one to two ounces of nuts each day provides the maximum benefits. What nuts are best? Experts suggest that almonds, peanuts, pine nuts, walnuts, peacans and hazelnuts seem to have the greatest heart-health benefits.
