Scientists analyzed the relationship between nut consumption and cardiovascular mortality in a random sample of 5500 people over 35 who did not have heart or vascular disease. Experts evaluated how often the subjects ate different nuts - walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts.

The study, which included monitoring human nutrition, lasted 12 years.. During this time, among the project participants, 594 people were diagnosed with coronary heart disease, and 157 people suffered from strokes.

By the end of the study, 179 participants died of cardiovascular disease, and another 458 died from other causes..

Before assessing the effect of nuts on the protection of people from strokes and heart attacks, experts took into account factors of age, gender, education, smoking and physical activity. But even after that, according to them, “the connection between the consumption of nuts and the health of the heart and blood vessels was clearly visible”. Researchers found fresh raw unsalted nuts to be most beneficial to the heart..
