Nut consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Millions of people world-wide die from CHD each year. Epidemiological studies have shown that adding moderately walnuts or almonds to ones diet will decrease serum concentration of cholesterol in both women and men. Also, nuts have other protective constituents, such as protein, magnesium, vitamin E, fibre, potassium and alpha linolenic acid.

Frequent nut consumption is a protection against coronary artery disease (CAD). It has beneficial effect attributing to the improvement of the serum lipid profile. The lowering of cholesterol as a result of nut consumption is greater than one realises. Nut consumption replaces saturated fat because of the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) that nuts contain. Also, nuts are rich in many nutrients that may reduce the risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease) by mechanisms that are independent of lowering cholesterol. For a person to benefit from eating walnuts, they need to eat a large amount of the product in order to have a decrease in CHD or CAD. Eating nuts are safe but take care not to eat the harmful ones. However, it is believed that Seventh Day Adventists have a low rate of CHD as a result of eating nuts; and vegans and vegetarians use nuts to substitute meats.
