Eating Nuts May Make Your Brain Function Better

A recent study published in The Official Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found a direct connection between consumption of a variety of nuts and brain health.

To find out what effect eating nuts had on brainwave activity, researchers connected EEG machines to nine different regions of participants heads, and then had them eat cashews, peanuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts, all while reading their brainwave signals.

The results were striking: with the participants recording higher levels of frequencies that the researchers claim are “associated with deep meditation, empathy, healing, as well as neural synchronization, enhanced cognitive processing, recall, and memory.”

The report concluded that eating nuts regularly can benefit brain health by improving attention and memory.
