Several studies from the US and Asia, have proven that regular consumption of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/healthy-practices\/healthy-eating-what-is-in-a-nutritious-diet-81659.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nuts <\/a>has a protective effect vis-\u00e0-vis to cardiovascular disease. <\/p> <p>While that's evidently true, recently, in a paper published by the International Journal of Epidemiology, a team of researchers from the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands have also shown that nuts possess\u00a0advantages that go well beyond the heart.<\/p> <p>The\u00a0study involved a group of 120,000 Dutch men and women aged 55 to 69 who were monitored since 1986. Now, from the results, doctors found that those who ate 10 grams of nuts or peanuts per day (about half a handful), had less risk of dying from cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative and respiratory diseases. However, no additional benefit was observed at higher doses.<\/p> <p>Peanuts and nuts contain various compounds including mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They also contain vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants - the combination of which\u00a0create the health benefits in nuts.<br \/> <\/p> <h2> <span>Peanut butter not included<br \/> <\/span> <\/h2> <p>During this study, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/on-my-plate\/lets-get-nutty-peanut-butter-may-diet-disaster-72205.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peanut butter<\/a>\u00a0was also tested for its impact on longevity. Unfortunately, it does not have the same protective effects as a raw peanut. The researchers hypothesise that trans fats and salt in peanut butter reduces the health effects. Too bad for all the peanut butter lovers!\u00a0<\/p> <p><em>Maureen Diamant<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you fancy eating nuts in your daily diet then this might just
