Snack Trick SLASHES Heart Disease Risk 25%
Wouldn’t it be great if you could pop a few pills and watch your odds of heart disease plummet by 25 percent?
Sounds like a dream, right? Especially if you’re overweight, diabetic, or have other risk factors.
Well, it could be YOUR reality.
Except, it’s not a pill. It’s a type of food.
And a tasty one, at that.
A heart-healthy diet doesn’t have to be bland.
In fact, some of the tastiest foods, spices, and minerals on the planet are the BEST things for your heart, INCLUDING salt!
But I’m not here to discuss salt — that’s a topic for another day. Today, I want to focus on nuts.
When researchers analyzed data from 42 studies including more than 1.8 million people, they reached a surprising conclusion.
Eating just one daily handful of nuts was linked to a 25 percent drop in the risk of heart disease.
And it isn’t our first time seeing this link so clearly. Another large study from three years ago reached similar results, for example.
Researchers found that folks who ate nuts regularly had a significantly reduced risk of heart disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke, compared to non-nut eaters.
And in yet more research, scientists found even GREATER benefits. Researchers concluded that people who ate nuts several times per week had up to a 50 percent reduced risk of sudden cardiac death.
Folks, if a drug had results like these, Big Pharma wouldn’t be able to keep it on the shelves.
But you don’t need to go to a pharmacy to load up on these heart protectors. And there are NO drug side effects when you do.
The healthiest nuts you can eat include almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, and peanuts.
If you’re not grabbing a handful of this tasty snack regularly, it’s never too late to start.
P.S. According to another study published in the journal Diabetologia, tree nuts could ALSO be the answer to your blood sugar woes. CLICK HERE for the delicious details.
