A New study has linked tree nuts to lower body weight and risk of obesity.
Research has shown that nuts can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome(MetS). The latter is a cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and includes elevated blood lipds, blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin resistance and abdominal obesity.
Maureen Ternus, Executive Director of the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation (INC NREF), said that just 1.5 ounces of nuts per day (about 1/3 cup) can give you many of the important vitamins, minerals and energy you need throughout the day.
The study is published in Nutrition Journal
