According to the Chinese Blood Lipid Management Guidelines (2023)
The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults is as high as 35.6%
What should people with abnormal blood lipids do?
A recent study found that
Moderate intake of nuts can improve blood lipid abnormalities
And different 'blood lipid abnormalities' have their own optimal nuts
Nuts have a good effect on regulating blood lipids
In December 2023, an important study published in the professional journal "Food Science and Nutrition Review" in the field of food nutrition found that nuts can play a good role in regulating blood lipids, and different nuts can be said to have different "effects".
In order to evaluate the effects of different nuts on blood lipid parameters, a research team from the Health and Social Research Center at La Mancha University in Castile, Spain conducted an in-depth analysis of data from 76 randomized controlled trials. The results showed that:
In terms of reducing total cholesterol, the top three nuts are pistachios, almonds, and walnuts;
In terms of reducing "bad" cholesterol, the top three nuts are cashews, walnuts, and almonds;
Hazelnuts have the best effect in reducing triglycerides, followed by walnuts;
Peanuts are the most effective in increasing "good" cholesterol levels.
Researchers have shown that all nuts have a positive effect on reducing blood lipid levels, and specific types of nuts have stronger advantages on specific blood lipid parameters.
The research results confirm that it is feasible to prevent and control blood lipid abnormalities through personalized nutrition strategies. Consumers can choose the corresponding best nuts based on their blood lipid test results.
