Nuts increase longevity. Regarding longevity, the largest detailed medical study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine emphasizes that eating just a handful of nuts daily yields dramatic health benefits. The study notes that while it cannot definitively prove cause-and-effect, the significant findings are extremely beneficial for overall tree nut consumption and ground nut consumption. This 30-year study was sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and a research grant from International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation (INC NREF):
Consistent consumption of tree nuts (pistachio nuts, almond nuts, cashew nuts, brazil nuts, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, pecan nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts) and ground nuts (such as peanuts) were all included in the study showing the more nut consumption on a regular basis, the greater your longevity and overall improved health!
