NEJM simple snacks can reduce the risk of cancer and heart attack, and prolong life

Healthy and longevity depend to a large extent on whether you can avoid chronic complications that lead to shortened lifespan

According to the results of two long-term studies at Harvard University, eating nuts every day can help extend people's lifespan

We found that people who eat nuts every day live longer, said Dr.

The report published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" shows that people who eat nuts every day are less likely to die from cancer, heart disease and respiratory diseases

In general, people who eat nuts every day are 20% less likely to die during the study than those who do not eat nuts

Researchers at Harvard University also pointed out that the components of nuts—fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals—may provide "cardioprotective, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties

As an additional health bonus, people who regularly consume nuts are less likely to gain weight in this and other studies

"Nuts are rich in protein and fiber, which can delay absorption and reduce hunger," said Dr.

Studies have found that people at risk of heart attack can reduce their risk by eating a healthy diet containing nuts

Studies have shown that eating nuts can:

• Reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which play a major role in arterial plaque deposition

• Improve the health of the arterial intima

• Reduce inflammation levels associated with heart disease

• Reduce the risk of blood clots, which can lead to heart attack and death

• Improve heart health and reduce the risk of premature death from heart disease and other causes

  
  

Reduce cancer risk

In a study published by the National Health Library, the benefits of nuts for cancer prevention were further analyzed

The study started by saying that nuts are more than just a good supporting role in a cheese plate

It continued: "Studies have shown that nuts are a valuable source of plant protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, folic acid, phytoestrogens and fiber

"New data shows that inflammation and oxidative stress play a role in the development of cancer; the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of nuts and their components may contribute to anti-cancer activity and have cardioprotective effects

Reduce the risk of obesity

Nuts are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants

Epidemiological data indicate that high nut consumption is associated with a lower incidence of obesity

Nuts can suppress hunger by absorbing water from the gastrointestinal tract and make people feel fuller
.

Some researchers hypothesize that this is due to the effect of nuts on the hormones that affect hunger, thereby promoting satiety
