Nuts and Disease Risk Reduction

Consuming a small handful of nuts daily significantly reduces the risk of major diseases. Research from Imperial College London illustrates that eating at least 20 grams, which is less than an ounce, can decrease the chances of dying from respiratory diseases by nearly 50% and diabetes by around 40%. Raw walnuts, specifically highlighted as a beneficial option, can combat cardiovascular conditions along with other diseases. This compelling evidence is based on a comprehensive meta-analysis that reviewed 29 studies involving 819,000 participants, demonstrating the profound health benefits of regular nut consumption.
