Nuts: Nature’s Nutritional Powerhouse
Scientists tracking Loma Linda residents found those eating nuts five times weekly live 2.9 years longer than non-nut eaters. Almonds and walnuts rank highest in longevity benefits due to their unique fatty acid profiles. Most centenarians eat a handful of mixed nuts daily, preferably raw or dry-roasted. Local markets sell freshly harvested nuts, which contain 30% more nutrients than stored varieties.
