A handful of nuts a day could significantly cut the risk of heart disease, cancer and early death, major research suggests.
The study by Imperial College London shows that those consuming at least 20 g of nuts daily had far lower risks from major diseases.
Eating such an amount – the equivalent of a handful a day – cut the chance of heart disease by nearly 30 per cent, the risk of cancer by 15 per cent, and that of premature death by 22 per cent.
