It should be noted that most of the participants who ate walnuts also had a generally healthy diet and exercise routine. However, the study authors did find a clear link between walnut consumption and a longer lifespan. If people eat half a serving of walnuts each day, regardless of their other habits, the risk of death still drops by 12 percent, and heart disease is decreased by 26 percent.

“What we’ve learned from this study is that even a few handfuls of walnuts per week may help promote longevity, especially among those whose diet quality isn’t great to begin with,” Yanping Li, the lead investigator from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in a media release.

While smoking is still the leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., there are many people who’ve never touched a cigarette and still got ill. This means that not smoking is the best thing you can do to prevent lung cancer, but it turns out that eating yogurt can also help.

The research published in JAMA Oncology, which analyzed the existing data of 10 different studies with 1.4 million participants, found the link between yogurt intake and the risk of getting lung cancer. Apparently, eating even small amounts of yogurt daily helps increase the risk significantly.

Eating yogurt and fiber, in general, has an even better effect if you increase the amount you intake daily. A healthy, balanced diet has proved once again to be the key to long-term health.

The research found that people who eat nuts twice per week are 17% less likely to die from such cardiovascular diseases.

According to Dr. Mohammadifard, “nuts are a good source of unsaturated fat and contain little saturated fat. They also have protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols, and polyphenols which benefit heart health.” 

“European and US studies have related nuts with cardiovascular protection but there is limited evidence from the Eastern Mediterranean Region,” the doctor told Science Daily.

The study involved 5,432 adult participants aged 35 and older who had no history of cardiovascular disease. The participants came from urban and rural areas of Isfahan, Arak, and Najafabad. The study lasted from 2001 until 2013 and the participants were interviewed every other year regarding their cardiovascular problems.

According to Dr. Mohammadifard, it’s best to eat raw, fresh, unsalted nuts. A good daily portion consists of 30 grams of nuts.
