Avoiding heart disease may be a nutty idea.

That’s the conclusion of a new study of more than 210,000 U.S. adults tracked for 32 years. Researchers found that those who regularly ate peanuts, walnuts, cashews and other nuts had a lower risk of heart disease.

The findings “support recommendations of increasing the intake of a variety of nuts, as part of healthy dietary patterns, to reduce the risk of chronic disease,” said study author Marta Guasch-Ferre. She is a research fellow in the department of nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Good.   Nuts are my go-to snack these days.  The others have too much salt, sugar and unhealthy fat with no discernible health benefits.

I generally eat a handful of pecans every day.
