The key to longevity: a simple nut will protect against high sugar and lower cholesterol

Scientists believe that some foods can protect against various diseases, significantly prolong life, such as walnuts.

In a study by scientists from the Medical Center of the University of Munich in Germany, which was published in the journal Metabolism , notes that eating walnuts significantly lowered LDL (what some call “bad”) cholesterol and raised HDL (“good”) cholesterol in trial participants.

People with diabetes can regularly eat walnuts, because they contain a large amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, say scientists.

So, a study by the American Dietetic Association says that the consumption of nuts is inversely proportional to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it is important to make sure that you eat this nut in moderation.
