Nuts & Seeds - Healthy Fats for Longevity

Why Nuts Are a Longevity Superfood

Nuts appear in every longevity diet - Mediterranean, Blue Zones, and MIND diet. Research consistently shows that people who eat nuts regularly live longer and have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

The PREDIMED Study: Participants who ate a handful of nuts daily had a 30% lower risk of cardiovascular events. The benefit was independent of other diet factors - nuts themselves provide protection.

Health Benefits of Daily Nut Consumption

Heart Health: Reduces LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation
Brain Function: Walnuts especially linked to cognitive protection
Blood Sugar Control: Low glycemic, improve insulin sensitivity
Weight Management: Despite calories, nut eaters tend to be leaner
Longevity: Regular nut consumption linked to 20% lower mortality

Best Nuts for Longevity

Walnuts: Highest omega-3 content, best for brain health
Almonds: High in vitamin E and fiber
Pistachios: Rich in antioxidants, good for blood sugar
Macadamias: Highest in monounsaturated fats
Brazil Nuts: Best source of selenium (2-3/day is enough)

Best Seeds for Longevity

Flaxseeds: Highest plant omega-3s, must be ground
Chia Seeds: Fiber, omega-3s, complete protein
Pumpkin Seeds: High in zinc and magnesium
Sunflower Seeds: Vitamin E powerhouse
Hemp Seeds: Complete protein, ideal omega ratio

How Much to Eat: One handful (about 1 oz or 28g) of mixed nuts daily is the sweet spot. More isn't necessarily better - the benefit plateaus at about 1 oz per day. Choose raw or dry-roasted, unsalted varieties.

Storage Tip: Nuts contain delicate oils that can go rancid. Store in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve freshness and nutritional value.
