In a large-scale study of aging Chinese adults, researchers from the University of South Australia looked for possible correlations between the consumption of nuts and cognition levels of an aging population. They uncovered an inverse relationship between the number of nuts consumed and the decline of cognitive function in the participants. They published their discovery in The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging.
The researchers concluded that consuming nuts might help a person maintain healthy cognitive function as he grew older.
