2. Nuts
This is great news for a lot of folks because nuts are a popular snack food that many people find almost as tasty as other snacks that might be classified as “junk food.” Nuts, however, are actually good for you. Eating nuts may boost brain health as one scientific study suggests when it found that elderly women who ate nuts at least five times per week performed better on cognitive tests than those who didn’t eat any. Although nuts are lauded as a healthy snack, it’s advisable to avoid “going nuts” when snacking on them since they tend to be high in calories and could pack on extra pounds, which certainly won’t do much for your longevity strategy.
