Nuts Could Lower The Risk Of Irregular Heartbeat!

Eating nuts regularly could prevent irregular heart rhythm and heart failure, says a study. 

The researchers showed that eating nuts can lower the risks of:

Heart attack

Heart failure

Atrial fibrillation (a. K. A. Heart flutter which causes a rapid increase in heart rate)

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (enlarged aorta, the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the body at the level of the abdomen)

Researchers say that they are high in healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants which help boost your heart health. They also said that compared to those who do not eat nuts at all, those who actually eat them tend to have a better and healthier lifestyle: they are less likely to smoke or drink alcohol, they ate more fruits and vegetables and were leaner, as well as physically fit and active.

The key findings of the study on nuts for heart health were as follows:

Eating a handful of nuts per week: reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation by 3%

Eating nuts more than three times a week: reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation by 18%

Eating nuts moderately: reduced the risk of heart failure by 20%

Eating nuts moderately: may possibly reduce heart attack and abdominal aortic aneurysm

Eating nuts beyond moderate levels: no benefit was seen

Eating nuts moderately: doesn’t ensure reversal of health risks of an unhealthy lifestyle

Befriend nuts as they befriend your heart!
