For many chronic diseases, non-genetic factors often account for at least 80 to 90 percent of risk. Modifiable risk factors, such as diet, weight, activity, and smoking status, account for more than 70 percent of our risk of having a stroke or getting colon cancer, more than 80 percent of coronary heart disease risk, and more than 90 percent of risk for type 2 diabetes.

The same diet that prevents stroke and cancer also prevents heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and diverticulosis, and protects against emphysema, dementia, cataracts, and macular degeneration. That's the beauty of a plant-based diet. What’s more, studies have shown that plant-based eating can improve not only body weight, blood sugar levels, and our ability to control cholesterol, but also our emotional states, including depression, anxiety, fatigue, sense of well-being, and daily functioning.

There is compelling evidence to recommend eating nuts at least three times a week to maximize your chances of living longer and healthier lives. Raw nuts are preferred over salted or toasted ones, and whole or chopped nuts over nut butters.

Interventional trials have shown that eating nuts improves artery function, and nuts may also improve blood sugar control, lower cholesterol, suppress inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and feed our friendly gut flora.

My Daily Dozen recommends at least one serving of nuts or other seeds every day. A quarter cup of nuts is considered a serving. Learn more about the Daily Dozen at https://bit.ly/3axjw2x.

I’m not saying that ALL processed and packaged foods are all bad.

People have been processing food virtually from day one. Until refrigeration, it was the only way we had of preserving perishables to eat later. Cooking is a form of processing, so are curing, drying, smoking, fermenting—the list goes on and on.

Whole foods processed using traditional methods and ingredients are not something we need to avoid. Some processing actually improves food by making its nutrients more available or potent. We just have to understand which processed foods we can safely eat and which we should avoid.
