Common foods such as nuts, fish, fruits, and vegetables are increasingly recognized as important sources of bioactive nutrients. Collectively, they offer an alternative approach for prevention and management of CHD [42]. The relationship between nut consumption and decreased incidence of other lifestyle diseases is emerging.
