October 22 is National Nut Day.
"Eating tree nuts like walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, and Brazil nuts may help prevent cancer," said William Li, a physician and scientist at The Angiogenesis Foundation. "Nuts contain cancer-fighting polyphenols that boost our immune systems to fight cancer, and they also have healthy omega 3 fatty acids, which can starve cancer by cutting off its blood supply."
"Research has shown that people who eat more nuts and seeds have longer telomeres, which means that eating nuts can slow down our cellular aging," he continued. "Nuts also have a lot of fiber which activates our healthy gut bacteria, which boosts our immune system."
