Regular nuts intake can lower the risk of developing the heart rhythm irregularity, atrial fibrillation and hearth failure, previous studies have suggested that eating nuts regularly is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. The researchers drew completed Food Frequency Questionnaire responses and lifestyle information from more than 61,000 participants, those who ate nuts have healthier lifestyles than those who didn’t include nuts in their diet.
During the monitoring period, there were 4983 heart attacks, of which 917 were fatal; 3160 cases of heart failure; 7550 cases of atrial fibrillation ; 972 cases of aortic valve narrowing; 983 abdominal aortic aneurysms (a bulge or swelling in the aorta, a major artery); and 3782 cases of stroke caused by a blood clot (ischaemic) and 543 caused by a brain bleed (intracerebral haemorrhage).
Nut consumption was associated with a lower risk of heart attack, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm, after considering age and sex. The more often nuts were included in the diet, the lower was the associated risk of atrial fibrillation, eating a serving of nuts one to three times a month was associated with a lowered risk of just 3 percent, rising to 12 percent when eating them once or twice a week, and to 18 percent when eating them three or more times a week. Nuts are a rich source of healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants, which aid cardiovascular health.
