Ah nuts. We knew there was something good for us about them,
and a new study found that we were right. Health Briefs TV gets nutty on the
health benefits of nuts.
The high-protein snack seems to lower the risk of death from
a number of chronic diseases, according to the researchers of the study. As
reported in the International Journal of Epidemiology, when we eat at least 10
grams of nut or peanuts per day, our mortality rate from respiratory diseases,
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diabetes, cancer
and heart-related issues is reduced. Ten grams of nuts and peanuts per day is
advised for people who are not allergic to them. The consumption of peanut
better did not have any affect, nor did eating more than 10 grams of nuts per
day. Ten grams of nuts is less than a handful of them.
Health Briefs TV notes that nuts and peanuts contain mono-saturated
and poly-saturated fats, or the “good fats”, fiber and vitamins. Peanut butter
contains added salt and “bad fats”. Raw
nuts, not the roasted and salted varieties, are best. Think almonds, sunflower
seed, peanuts, walnuts, and pecans. Most grocery and organic food stores sell
these. Go nuts and lower the chance of developing
life-changing and life-ending illnesses.
