A simple way to avoid early death from heart disease

One of the best available ways to prolong life is to eat more nuts, British experts from the National Health Service (NHS) said. To avoid early death from heart disease, they recommend eating at least three servings of nuts per week.

“You can also live longer just by adding some nuts to your daily routine. This will reduce your chances of developing heart disease symptoms,” said nutritionist Alina Petre.

Many believe that life expectancy is determined by genetics, says the doctor. However, genes play a much smaller role than originally thought. The influencing factors of daily nutrition and lifestyle are key, Petre emphasizes.

The doctor believes that eating nuts is a simple way to avoid early death from heart disease. According to the expert, people who consume at least three portions of nuts per week reduce the probability of premature death by 39%.

“Nuts are the best snack because they contain a number of key nutrients: they are especially rich in proteins, fiber, antioxidants, and magnesium. Several studies have shown that nuts have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart, blood pressure, reduce the risk of inflammation, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, accumulation of fat on the abdomen, and some forms of cancer,” said the British nutritionist.

Petre added that for a better health effect, nuts should be combined with tea or coffee. Both drinks have properties that reduce the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. Green tea helps to avoid some types of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Drinking coffee is associated with a lower probability of developing diabetes, some neurodegenerative conditions, including dementia and Parkinson's disease. longer Regular exercise can reduce the likelihood of coronary heart disease and stroke by up to 35 percent, the expert said.
