A new study suggests that people trying to lose weight should consider eating more dried fruit.
Researchers say people who eat 1.5 to 3 ounces of almonds, peanuts, pistachios or walnuts a day lose more weight than people who don’t eat nuts.
The results showed that people who ate a diet rich in dried fruit lost 3 to 16 pounds compared to those who did not include dried fruit in their diet.
Fruits are rich in healthy fats, plant-based proteins and fiber, all of which contribute to promoting feelings of fullness and reducing excess calories.
In addition, they play a role in cardiovascular, nutritional and gastrointestinal health and cognitive performance.
