If you are looking for a simple way to reduce the risk of death from a heart attack, peanuts may be a good option. Researchers from Vanderbilt University and Shanghai Cancer Institute conclude that peanut consumption is associated with fewer deaths, especially in heart disease.

"Nuts are rich in nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids and phytochemicals," said Xiao-Ou Shu's main research. "All of these substances are known for their benefits for heart and blood vessel health, probably by reducing oxidation and inflammation and preserving endothelial function." The endothelium is the lining of the heart and blood vessels and controls many important processes, including blood clotting.
Notes
-
Previous studies showed an association between nut consumption and a reduced mortality rate, but those studies focused mainly on white people with a higher income. This research shows that the health benefits of nuts and peanuts apply to everyone. Shu: "In our study, we looked at both lower-income white and dark Americans and Chinese men and women." In all, data from more than 200,000 people were involved in the study.

Shu and her colleagues found an association between peanut consumption and mortality and mortality from cardiovascular disease in particular. Overall mortality was reduced by 17 to 21 percent - and in cardiovascular disease as much as 23 to 38 percent - when the researchers compared the group with the highest peanut consumption to those who ate the fewest nuts. "Because peanuts are much cheaper than many other nuts, it is a smart way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease," said Shu. The researchers emphasize that the study was not designed to demonstrate a causal relationship. So it cannot be said with certainty that the peanuts are responsible for the result found. The researchers did, however, correct for other factors that increase the risk of heart disease. The results are published in JAMA Internal Medicine. A
