And MedicalXpress reports that experts have found that nuts lower the level of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides, which help build cholesterol plaques in the arteries.

Doctors point out that in the absence of health contraindications to the consumption of nuts, any type of nuts can be eaten, since they all contain unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, plant sterols and L-arginine.

Scientists warn that nuts, in exchange for this, contain a high percentage of calories, so it is best to eat them in small amounts and without sugar, salt or chocolate.

According to data from the World Health Organization, more than 17.5 million people die from cardiovascular disease each year. Knowing this, it is possible to prevent 80% of myocardial infarctions and the first cases of stroke.
