Reducing type 2 diabetes risk by almost a quarter is as easy as eating only 8 ounces of these easy-to-find nuts, according to a large new study published in the Journal of Nutrition.
What’s more, the researchers found that people who made it a point to include these healthful gems in their diets were – for some strange reason – also more likely to improve other diet and exercise habits as well.
In a recently published study in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that compared to participants who ate no nuts, those who ate just 8 ounces of walnuts per month were 24% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, even after controlling for other health factors.
Walnuts are extremely rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which is not only an essential nutrient for optimum health, but also is found to be sorely deficient in Western diets- despite the readily available nature of the nut.
Researchers looking at blood pressure and cardiovascular health also noted that people who eat walnuts regularly are also more likely to exercise and to eat more fish compared to peers who do not.
Walnuts are found almost year round in most grocery and health food stores, and can be incorporated in most any meal from salads to cereal. While they can get pricey depending upon location and time of year, the study also shows that it doesn’t take much of a serving to have a great impact on health.

Check dates on packaging when you buy walnuts. Then keep them in the fridge or freezer. They go rancid pretty fast.
