Eat More Nuts

Hey, just wondering, how often do you eat nuts? Like, are you the kind of nuts fan who eats them all the time or do you just eat them every once in a while? Like, do you grab a handful of nuts once a day? Once a week? Do you only eat nuts on airplanes? If you’re a big fan of nuts, have I got some great news: Science Daily is reporting that you “have a lower risk of dying from several major causes of death than people who don’t consume nuts or peanuts.”

The project leader found the results of the study, which has running since 1986, “remarkable.”

The associations between nuts and peanut intake and cardiovascular death confirm earlier results from American and Asian studies that were often focused on cardiovascular diseases. However, in this new study, it was found that mortality due to cancer, diabetes, respiratory, and neurodegenerative diseases was also lowered among [Men and women who eat at least 10 grams of nuts or peanuts per day.]

Thinking about living longer? You should probably eat deez nuts:

Or deez nuts:

Mmmmm you should eat deez potentially-cancer-preventing nuts:

But NOT deez blended nuts:

The study found that “peanut butter is not associated with lower mortality.” So stick with the nuts you can hold in your hands.
