A new research has suggested that eating nuts, can more than half, reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer.

A study of over 3,500 patients found consumption of nuts reduced recurrence of breast cancer by 52% and mortality rates by a third.

It applied to all types of nuts, from almonds, pistachios, pecans and brazil nuts to walnuts, peanuts, cashews and hazelnuts.

These results also weren’t impacted by the subjects’ other dietary habits, with this being one of the first studies showing the health benefits of nuts; rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.
