To reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, 150 grams per week of these 2 fruits could help us
According to research, eating nuts and peanuts reduces the risk of overall mortality and the specific risk of cardiovascular disease. This is supported by a study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Tennessee) and promptly reported by the Veronesi Foundation. The study involved a population sample of about 200,000 people, of different ethnicities. About 70,000 were American, of African and European descent, while about 130,000 were Asian.
In all ethnic groups, research has shown a marked decrease in the risk of mortality for people accustomed to consuming nuts and peanuts. Specifically, the risk of overall mortality decreased by 17-21%. Meanwhile, the risk of mortality from heart attack or stroke decreased by 23-38%. The study would also hypothesize a relationship between peanut consumption, cancer prevention and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes. On the latter point, however, the data are not clear and it is too early to reach conclusions that would be hasty.
How many nuts and how many peanuts to consume per week to have an iron heart
Research explains that the beneficial effects of walnuts and peanuts on the heart are due to the quality of the nutrients found in these fruits. Specifically, we are talking about unsaturated fats, vitamins, fibers, arginine and phytochemicals, but also about the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. To maximize the effects of these nutrients, the recommended amount of walnuts and peanuts is four servings per week. For a serving of walnuts we mean about 42 grams. So, to improve our heart health, 150 – 160 grams of nuts per week could help. It is clear that we are talking about natural walnuts and peanuts, therefore without adding salt or other ingredients.
