Eating tree nuts, such as almonds, may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease for adults with type 2 diabetes, a Harvard study has found.
The study shows that people with diabetes who ate at least five servings of nuts per week had a 17 percent lower risk of total cardiovascular disease incidence compared to those who ate one or less weekly servings.
They also had a 20 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease, a 34 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease death and a 31 percent reduced risk of death from all causes.
