In the last article, we have learned that the right amount of nuts doesn't make us fat. In fact, they can help us lose weight. Beyond that, nuts have many other benefits. According to a large number of studies, people have found that proper consumption of nuts can reduce cholesterol, improve diabetes, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
