Scientists from Harvard University and Harvard Medical School say replacing an unhealthy snack with half a daily serving of nuts could slow weight gain in people as they get older.
Eating more of any type of nut was linked to less long-term weight gain and a lower risk of becoming obese, researchers said.Swapping out snacks such as chocolates, pastries and doughnuts with half a serving of nuts could prevent weight gain of between 0.41 and 0.7kg over a four-year period.Researchers conducted a long-term study which followed 51,529 male health professionals aged 40 to 75, 121,700 nurses aged 35 to 55 and 16,686 nurses aged 24 to 44.
Participants had their weight measured every four years and were asked how often they had eaten nuts. They also had to report their exercise every two years.
So, exactly the same as they said in 2011? 👇
