THE HEALING POWER OF NUTS:
“LIFESTYLE
DISEASES THAT WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ‘HEALTH CONCERN’ LIST ARE NOW A CAUSE
OF ALRM…”- Larissa Brown
-studies
show a surge in both diabetes and high blood pressure, with a filling on half
of the country’s (KENYA) HOSPITAL BEDS.
-In
2008, a random sample of 4,000 dwellers in Central Nairobi
found 700 of them suffering from either high blood pressure or diabetes.
-scientific
evidence shows that high blood pressure can be ended in just a few weeks, and
the risk of heart diseases set aide by eating just a handful of nuts a day.
-it
was in California in 1992 that researchers at Loma Linda University first
discovered that people eating nuts daily had up to 60 per cent fewer heart
attacks than those who didn’t. The study of 31,000 people, of all weights, ages
and both genders, was based on a mix of peanuts, almonds, walnuts and other
nuts.

Prior nutritional advice has always tended towards advising minimal nut
consumption on the grounds they are a “fatty” food.
