The study first started in 2001 and it involved 5,432 participants from rural and urban parts of three countries — Isfahan, Arak, and Najafabad. The participants were monitored until 2013 and interviewed every two years. Turns out, those who ate two portions of raw nuts per week were 17% less likely to have a deadly stroke or heart attack.

“Nuts are a good source of unsaturated fat and contain little saturated fat,” Science Daily quoted Dr. Mohammadifard. “They also have protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols, and polyphenols which benefit heart health,” he said.

“European and US studies have related nuts with cardiovascular protection but there is limited evidence from the Eastern Mediterranean Region,” the doctor continued.

If you want to improve your diet by adding nuts, make sure you eat two 30-gram portions of raw almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or hazelnuts every week.

“In patients with episodic migraine, one to two caffeinated drinks were not associated with getting a migraine on the same day,” explains the lead author of the study, Elizabeth Mostofsky, a postdoctoral fellow at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an instructor of epidemiology at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as NBC writes. “These findings would suggest that you limit yourself to no more than two servings a day of caffeinated beverages,” Mostofsky said.

She and her colleagues gathered 98 volunteers with a history of headaches – they regularly experienced from 2-15 headaches every month. The volunteers kept track of their habits for six weeks and measured physical activity, stress levels, caffeine and alcohol intake, etc. 

What they found was that, while one or two caffeinated drinks per day didn’t cause migraines, the third drink dramatically increased the odds. Similarly, for those who rarely consumed caffeine, the risk was increased with only one or two drinks.
