Are Nuts Good For You?

The short answer: Yes...

Experts say nuts offer big benefits for your heart.

On the face of it, the high calorie and fat content of nuts may lead you to think that you should eat them sparingly, Julia Calderone reports on consumerreports.org.

But for decades, nutrition experts have encouraged nut eating because of the bevy of nutrients in just a small serving. A number of studies have suggested that nuts can help cut the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and aid weight loss, too, Calderone wrote.

Now, in one of the largest studies to date, researchers from Harvard University have found that just a few servings of nuts per week may help keep your heart healthy. And more specifically, they found that walnuts and peanuts—but not peanut butter—may give your heart a boost, she added.
