Tips for Nut Consumption
- Moderation is key: Stick to a small handful (about 1 ounce) per day.
- Choose raw or dry-roasted: Avoid added salt, sugar, or oils.
- Mix it up: Rotate different types of nuts to maximize nutritional benefits.
- Store properly: Keep nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to prevent rancidity.
Bottom Line:
For those over 60, the right nuts can quietly protect your heart, brain, and bones, while the wrong ones may contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure, or other issues. Focusing on almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and Brazil nuts while avoiding heavily processed varieties is a simple, delicious way to support long-term health.
