People have long known that nuts are part of a healthy diet. However, scientists in the Netherlands recently found that you do not need to eat many to get all the health benefits. The researchers found that eating some nuts or peanuts every day can make you get a lower risk of death from several major diseases. A professor says that eating nuts protects the health of both men and women.

He also adds that you do not need to eat too many nuts. About 10 grams a day is enough to get the full health benefits of nuts. Nuts are high in fat and calories. So, eating a few before dinner can help you to eat less. But eating too many can ruin your appetite.

Nuts differ in their fat and nutrient content. Almonds(杏仁) are among the least fatty nuts. They also are high in Vitamin E that helps to protect the body from disease. And it’s good for skin and eyes. If you do not eat meat, cashews(腰果) are a good nut to choose. They may help to improve memory.
