The researchers believe that walnuts may have the ability to protect the brain by quenching the age- related free radicals, as well as promote neuronal communication and growth of new neurons. They concluded that adding walnuts to your diet may increase “health span” and provide a “longevity dividend” by delaying the onset of debilitating neurogenerative disease.
