Walnuts Slash Diabetes Risk

Eating a handful of walnuts two or three times a week can lower the risk of developing type-11 diabetes in women by almost 25% . Though the anti-diabetic effects of walnuts were known, the new study reinstated that regularly snacking on them can help prevent the condition.

Eating  walnuts one to three times a month curbs the risk by 4% once a week by 13% and at least twice a week by 24% . The higher the consumption, the lower is the risk of getting type-11 diabetes, report researchers from the Harvard School of public Health in Boston after collating data over a decade from 137,893 nurses aged from 35 to 77 years.
