Overweight and obesity are a public health priority -they affect about 30% of the world population. Calorie intake control and following a healthy diet are recognized as the primary strategies for addressing excess body weight. In addition, some clinical trials have shown that nut consumption may also help in the prevention and management of overweight and obesity due to their content of fiber and polyphenols (antioxidants). The potential effect of nuts on the prevention and management of obesity seems to be associated with their prebiotic properties.
