Snacking Your Way to Better Health – NYTimes.com

Snacking Your Way to Better #Health: in study of >100K, #nut eaters 20% less likely to die! nyti.ms/1jYmJ9E via @PersonalEdgeDFW

QT:{{”
The newest and most convincing findings, reported last month in The New England Journal of Medicine, come from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which together have followed nearly 119,000 women and men for decades. Both studies repeatedly recorded what the participants ate (among many other characteristics) and analyzed their diets in relation to the causes of death among the 27,429 people who died since the studies began. …
Those who ate nuts seven or more times a week were 20 percent less likely to die from 1980 to 2010; even among those who consumed nuts less often than once a week, the death rate was 11 percent lower than for those who did not eat them.
