For women who want an edge on wellness, eating the right foods can be simple, especially when you choose nutrient-dense choices such as walnuts

If there is a nut that is made to enhance women's health, it's walnuts. Published health research reveals that walnuts are a nutritious, heart-healthy food for everyone - but women receive special benefits related to healthy ageing, fighting breast cancer, and enhancing mental, maternal and menopausal health.

Here's what the latest science says:

1 For Healthy Ageing: Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital discovered that women who ate at least two servings of walnuts per week (56 g) during their late 50s and early 60s were more likely to age healthily compared to those who did not eat nuts. 'Ageing healthily' means longevity with sound mental health and no major chronic diseases, cognitive issues, or physical impairments after the age of 65.
