Scandinavian researchers found that eating a small amount every day can reduce the risk of a heart attack and strokes, according to a new study published in the Food Nutrition Research journal.
“If you eat a handful of nuts every day — that is around 30 grams — you will have a 20 to 25 percent lower risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease,” said study co-author“In comparison, adults in the Nordic countries only eat on average around 4 grams of nuts a day. Many do not eat nuts or seeds at all.”
Although the team of scientists behind the study said “the more the better,” eating just a few nuts is better than none — and can boost your heart health significantly. The composition of fatty acids in nuts is beneficial for aiding overall health, according to the study’s authors.Over 1.8 million participants were involved in the review, with researchers looking at the relative risk to having heart disease or strokes in comparison to how many nuts they ate in a day.
It was also unclear if eating nuts reduced the risk of strokes and Type 2 diabetes, with the study authors saying more research is needed.
