Nuts, with their healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamins, offer numerous health benefits. Particularly, their advantages for heart health have been scientifically proven.
Large-scale epidemiological studies have shown that individuals who regularly consume nuts significantly reduce their risk of heart disease. For instance, the Nurses' Health Study and the Adventist Health Study revealed that consuming 140 grams or more of nuts per week lowers the risk of heart disease by 35% to 50%.
Nuts not only benefit heart health but also help prevent type 2 diabetes, support weight control, and regulate the digestive system. Their high fiber content promotes gut health and keeps you feeling full for longer periods. This reduces the urge to overeat.

Nuts are categorized into tree nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashews) and peanuts. Each type stands out with its rich nutritional profile.
Almonds: Rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and antioxidants, supporting heart health.
Walnuts: Thanks to omega-3 fatty acids, they support brain health, reduce inflammation, and protect heart health.
Hazelnuts: Contain healthy fats, magnesium, and vitamin E; they help regulate cholesterol levels.
Peanuts: High in protein, making them an energy source for athletes. However, natural and unsalted varieties should be preferred.
