Fat that mounts up around the belly increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

However, a new research is revealed from the University of Barcelona which shows that a handful of nuts a day can not only maintain the hunger pangs at bay but can also help to beat belly fat.

Moreover, they will also maintain your skin glowing and healthy with their nutritive oils. Researcher’s analysis on the biochemical effects of nut consumption shows that a small portion of raw and unpeeled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts a day create positive health effects.

First time, the scientists have detected a link between consuming nuts and elevated levels of serotonin in the body of patient having metabolic syndrome (MetS). Serotonin is a substance which helps to transmit nerve signals and reduce appetite, improve heart health and boost happiness.
