markers, incorporating nuts in the diet may prevent the incidence or aggra-
vation of chronic metabolic diseases. Considering the health benefits of the
nuts' components, including essential micronutrients, if consumed in the
appropriate dose and duration to provide the necessary number of effective
micronutrients to improve health, we will see an improvement in metabolic
factors. At the same time, more research is required to determine the optimal
type, dose, and duration of nut intervention with regards to metabolic control
and reducing the risk of developing metabolic disorders.
