Researchers are saying nuts are helps to reduce the heat attacks. Nuts contain unsaturated fats including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which lower bad cholesterol levels, and are good for your heart.
The study conducted by Spanish researchers only adds to this claim. The findings reveal that a traditional Mediterranean diet characterised by a high intake of cereals, vegetables, fruits and olive oil, a moderate intake of fish and alcohol and a low intake of dairy, meats and sweets with an additional daily serving of mixed nuts has been linked to a lower risk for metabolic abnormalities. The metabolic syndrome is a set of metabolic abnormalities that include abdominal obesity and high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood glucose levels, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Many nuts are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are a healthy form of fatty acids that seem to help your heart by preventing dangerous heart rhythms that can lead to heart attacks.
