Why? Research shows that regularly eating nuts can help people manage diabetes and may reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, including heart disease.

Nuts may also have a role in helping to prevent type 2 diabetes.

In fact, a large review study found that eating a handful of nuts four times a week, was linked with a 13% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, compared with not eating nuts. 🙌
