Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest....be in health...
3 John 1:2
"Eating just 1.5 ounces of pecans every day may protect adults at risk for developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the March 2018 issue of the journal Nutrients.
While a growing body of evidence has linked tree nuts such as pecans to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, this is the first study to look at the effects of pecan consumption on factors other than blood lipid levels and specifically those related to type 2 diabetes.
“Pecans are naturally high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, so replacing a portion of the saturated fat in the diet with these healthier fats can explain some of the cardio-protective effects we observed,” said study lead author Dr. Diane McKay.
“What’s really interesting is that just one small change — eating a handful of pecans daily — may have a large impact on the health of these at-risk adults.” SciNews
