Nuts are certainly a delicious snack, but according to a recent study they may also be a means of preventing premature death.
Researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands studied both tree nuts and peanuts and found that eating about a handful a day reduces a number of health risks.
Among them are cancer, neurodegenerative issues, respiratory problems, and diabetes.
Reduction rates averaged about 23 percent in participants consuming at least 10 grams of nuts each day.
The study was carried out through a reexamination of data collected in 1986.
