Going Nuts for National Nut Day

October 22 is National Nut Day. Its origins are obscure. No matter. A day to celebrate tasty nuts and all of their health benefits is worth noting.

Consider these health benefits of common nuts.

• Lower risk of heart disease
• High in plant sterols which are linked to lower LDL cholesterol levels
• Reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes
• Increased longevity by two years
