Admittedly, this was not an expected outcome. It is not
intuitive that eating a handful of nuts could result in a longer and healthier
life. That is exactly what some research out of the Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute suggests.
Nearly 120,00 men and women volunteered to be in a 10-14
year study that looked at diet, exercise, lifestyle and life span. Every few
years, the volunteers completed a survey on their eating, exercise and health
habits. The results formed the basis for this report.
On average, people who eat nuts every day have a 20%
lower chance of dying than people who don’t eat nuts. That includes an 11%
lower chance of dying from cancer and a nearly 30% lower chance of dying from
heart disease.

So treat yourself to a handful of nuts every day. It
might not save your life, all by itself, but it can’t hurt!
