New studies, which are to be presented at the Scientific Sessions 2018, will reveal why nut consumption could aid weight loss efforts. Reportedly, the first study, led by Xiaoran Liu, looked at how nut consumption could affect the body over a long period. The findings revealed that a single serving of nuts and peanuts might reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain over several years. According to Liu, who is a research associate in the nutrition department of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, people see nuts as foods high in fat and calories and hesitate to consider them as healthy snacks, but nuts are associated with less weight gain and wellness.

Both increased the feeling of fullness. However, pretzels also increased blood sugar levels. While eating Brazil nuts helped in stabilizing blood glucose and insulin levels. According to senior author Mee Young Hong, a professor in the School of Exercise & Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University, it can keep diabetes and weight gain at bay and this may be due to selenium.
