of eye and digestive problems, and have a
positive effect upon blood sugar which can help
keep appetite in check.

helping prevent dangerous heart rhythms that are
sometimes precursors of heart attacks. In

prevent diabetes. Finally, nuts contain vitamin E,
which prevents plaque accumulation in arteries.
