Studies have found a link between eating nuts and longevity

Grab a pecan, pistachio or peanut and chew the almonds or large walnuts hard, which may make you live longer. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston,
Brigham
, and the University of Women's Medicine made a major discovery: there was an inverse correlation between a certain amount of nut intake and mortality, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on 21
).final analysis of the project was based on relevant studies, including
76,464,
female subjects in the Health Care Research Project and
42,498,
male subjects in the Professional Health Follow-up Program. Eating nuts more than

a week can reduce the mortality rate by
20% compared to eating
nuts. This inverse correlation was negatively associated with heart disease, cancer and respiratory diseases, which were primarily associated with mortality.the study notes that nuts contain nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, fibers, vitamins, minerals and phytophyto-chemicals that act as heart protection, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.The U.
S. Food and Drug Administration (
FDA
) said in 2003 that, although not finalized, scientific data are available to show that eating
1.5
ounces of nuts a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease. U

nuts eligible for health claims are limited to almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and large walnuts.study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, was funded by the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, Maryland) and the International Tree Nut Association's Nutrition Research and Education Fund (Davis, California). In the process of research design and implementation, the funders have no right to intervene, they can not collect data, manage, analyze and process, in the process of writing the paper can not explain, synth or approve the publication of the paper research.the
Health Care Research Project
1980 and the Professional Health Follow-up Project
1986
, the researchers determined the basic criteria for the food frequency questionnaire. In the
1980
and
1984
questionnaires, respondents were asked to answer the frequency with which a serving of nuts (
28,
grams or
1
ounces) was consumed in the previous year. The answers available are: never or almost never,
1-3
times a month,
1
times a week,
2-4
times a week,
5-5 times a week 6


times a day,
2-3
times a day,
4-6
times a day, or more than
6
times a day.follow-up questionnaire, the questions were divided into
2
: peanuts and other tree nuts. That is, the total intake of tree nuts is divided into peanut and other tree nut intake two categories. In a sense, peanuts can be considered beans.


years, researchers have documented
,200 deaths in
health care research projects. A total of 11
were recorded
professional
and
229 deaths were recorded. Age-adjusted and multivariable-adjusted analyses showed a significant negative correlation between the frequency of nut consumption and the overall mortality rate between men and women.people who ate nuts had a
mortality rate of
0.93

per week compared to those who never ate nuts, and those who ate nuts
1
a week had a mortality rate of
0.89
and
2-4
The mortality rate for people who ate nuts was
0.87
, for those who ate
5-6
nuts per week was
0.85
, and for those who ate
7
or more nuts per week was
0.80
.who regularly eat nuts tend to be slimmer, smoke less, exercise more and have a multivitamin supplement. They consume more fruits, vegetables and alcohol.
