The study also discusses the potential of nuts and dried fruits as foods that may benefit a number of diseases afflicting human beings.
 
This study observed that macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and other health-promoting bioactive compounds contained in nuts and dried fruits may synergistically contribute to modulate the risk of cardiometabolic and other non-communicable diseases through various mechanisms.
 
The review concluded that consumption of both nuts and dried fruits has been associated with cardiometabolic and other health benefits, and their consumption should be promoted for public health purposes.
