“…A similar gender difference [19,20] and among Canadian Inuit [21]. The traditional Greenlandic diet, which is rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, is suggested to improve insulin sensitivity by changing the fatty acid composition of membrane lipids [22,23]. Our finding of no association between diet and the metabolic syndrome may appear surprising, yet interpretation of the results may be limited by the use of a food frequency questionnaire rather than direct measurements of membrane lipids.…”

“…Consuming nuts in an otherwise healthy diet may help to alleviate this condition by providing key nutrients that have an impact on disease processes, such as unsaturated fatty acids and compounds with antioxidant activity. Dietary fat, for example, has been shown to influence insulin action through mechanisms associated with cell membrane structure and possibly signaling [48].…”

Nuts are nutrient-dense foods with complex matrices rich in unsaturated fatty acids and other bioactive compounds, such as L-arginine, fiber, minerals, tocopherols, phytosterols, and polyphenols. By virtue of their unique composition, nuts are likely to beneficially impact heart health. Epidemiologic studies have associated nut consumption with a reduced incidence of coronary heart disease in both genders and diabetes in women. Limited evidence also suggests beneficial effects on hypertension and inflammation. Interventional studies consistently show that nut intake has a cholesterol-lowering effect and there is emerging evidence of beneficial effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular reactivity. Blood pressure, visceral adiposity, and glycemic control also appear to be positively influenced by frequent nut consumption without evidence of undue weight gain. Berries are another plant food rich in bioactive phytochemicals, particularly flavonoids, for which there is increasing evidence of benefits on cardiometabolic risk that are linked to their potent antioxidant power.

“…Three hundred and forty-nine volunteers (52.7% male, mean age 50.7 ± 10.4 SD [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The mean BMI was 27.2 ± 4.5.…”
