Nuts for Life | Australian Nuts for Nutrition & Health

We’re Australia’s voice for the vital role nuts play in good health and nutrition. We inspire people to enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day. An initiative of the Australian nut industry, we also work closely with health professionals, government, and other bodies to improve the nutritional reputation of nuts.

Enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day.

At least $980 million could be saved in health care costs each year, if all Australians ate 30g of nuts a day.

An Australian research trial suggests whole orchard recycling has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of almond orchards.

Today is World Heart Day – a global reminder to prioritise heart health. ❤️

Decades of research shows that nuts are a powerful ally for your heart.

Did you know that eating a handful of nuts every day is linked with a 21% lower risk of cardiovascular disease? For people with heart disease, regular nut consumption can even reduce the risk of dying from it.

Why are nuts so heart healthy? 🤔
✔ Healthy fats
✔ Omega-3 fatty acids
✔ Fibre
✔ Antioxidants
✔ Phytosterols
✔ Arginine

Plus, nuts are naturally low in saturated fat and sodium, and contain no dietary cholesterol. 🙌

So, enjoy a healthy handful of nuts this World Heart Day (but really, every day)! Snack on them, or toss a handful into salads, cereal, smoothies, soups, or stir-fries. 🌰🥜

Can people with diverticular disease eat nuts 🤔? A new systematic review says YES!

The review, of nine earlier studies, found no evidence that nuts increase the risk of diverticulosis or diverticulitis. In fact, they may even offer a modest protective effect! 🙌

Key points:
🌰 No adverse effects on diverticulitis incidence
🌰 5% risk reduction with every extra serving of nuts per week
🌰 No ‘tipping point’ where nuts become harmful.

For decades, people with diverticular disease were told to avoid nuts. But this advice is not back by science. In fact, avoiding nuts may even be counterproductive, as nuts are a valuable source of fibre, which is important in managing diverticular disease.

The bottom line:
👉 People at risk of, or living with, diverticular disease should include nuts as part of a balanced, fibre-rich diet.
