Nuts, seeds and heart health [re-release]
In recognition of World Heart Day (29 September), we're re-releasing a popular episode on the role of nuts and seeds in cardiovascular health, including the latest recommendations and implications for practice.
At the time of recording in 2022, the New Zealand Heart Foundation had recently updated its position statement on nuts, seeds, and heart health. While now a couple of years old, the evidence underpinning these recommendations remains current and robust.
Our guest, Lily Henderson (then National Nutrition Advisor at the New Zealand Heart Foundation) played a central role in developing the updated statement. She discusses the key findings and shares practical tips on how to include nuts and seeds in daily eating habits to support heart health, and to improve heart health outcomes.
Key take-outs:
· Nuts and seeds are an important part of a heart-healthy dietary pattern
· Benefits to cholesterol are seen with as little as 15g of nuts a day
· Enjoy nuts and seeds in forms as close to their natural form as possible, to provide crunch, texture and a heart health boost.
