Eats nuts you live longer
 

This Daily Snack Will Lower Your Risk of Early Death ? From Most Deadly Diseases

Love nuts? You?re in luck ? they just might help you live longer.

That?s what new research published in the International Journal of Epidemiology has found. For the study, researchers analyzed the nut and peanut butter intake of more than 120,000 adults aged 55-69 in the Netherlands, as well as their mortality rates years later.

They discovered that people who ate tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts) as well as peanuts had a lower risk of dying from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illness, and neurodegenerative diseases ? essentially all the major causes of death ? during the time period of the study. The results were the same for men and women.

Participants needed to eat at least 10 grams of nuts or peanuts a day to see the benefits, researchers found. Luckily, it?s not hard to eat that amount daily.

While peanuts typically aren?t touted for their health benefits as much as tree nuts, researchers discovered that they were just as effective as other types of nuts at lowering a person?s risk.

The relationship between nut intake and heart disease has been studied in the past: Research published in the journal Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases found that frequent nut consumption may protect postmenopausal women against heart disease, and a 2014 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a link between eating nuts and a lowered risk of developing heart disease, as well as an overall risk of an earlier death. However, unlike the new research, it could not find a link between nuts and a reduced chance of developing diabetes.

So does this mean you should make nuts part of your daily diet? Absolutely, says certified dietitian-nutritionist Gina Keatley.

?Nuts are amazing,? she tells Yahoo Health, adding that they?re packed with fiber, have a form of omega-3 fatty acid that can help lower the risk of developing heart disease and can help lower cholesterol, and they contain flavonoids.
