The 3 Most Beneficial Nuts for People Over 60
1. Almonds
They are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects memory and reduces cellular aging. They also provide calcium, which is ideal for bone health. And the best part: they have a low glycemic index, making them a safe option for people with type 2 diabetes.

Tip: Eat a handful of natural almonds a day, preferably soaked for a few hours to improve digestion.

2. Walnuts
They are considered “brain food” thanks to their omega-3 fatty acid content. They help lower bad cholesterol (LDL), protect the heart, and improve cognitive function. Plus, their shape curiously resembles a brain, and it’s no coincidence: they’re ideal for protecting it.

Tip: Add them to breakfast, salads or plain yogurt.

3. Pistachios
In addition to their delicious taste, pistachios are an excellent source of plant-based protein, vitamin B6 (key to memory), and potassium. They promote circulation and are good allies in preventing hypertension.

Tip: Choose ones that aren’t too salty or over-roasted. A handful a day is enough.

Final Recommendations
: Avoid highly processed, salted, or sweetened nuts.
Choose natural nuts with no additives.
Chew them well to aid digestion.
Drink them with water to improve absorption.
Check with your doctor if you are taking blood thinners or thyroid medications, as some nuts can interact with certain medications.
Taking care of your health after 60 doesn’t mean giving up taste. You just have to choose wisely. And in nature, there are always powerful options to help you live with energy and autonomy!
