5 Best & Worst Nuts After 60 – What Dr William Li Recommends

Описание: Are you eating “healthy” snacks but still feeling foggy, inflamed, or struggling with stubborn weight after 60?

The truth is: not all nuts work the same way in an aging body.

After age 60, metabolism shifts. Insulin sensitivity declines. Muscle mass decreases. Inflammation becomes easier to trigger. And vascular flexibility drops.

That means the nuts you choose — and how you eat them — can either support your brain, heart, and metabolic flexibility… or quietly work against you.

In this science-backed breakdown inspired by the evidence-driven approach of Dr. William Li, we explore:

The 5 BEST nuts after 60 for longevity

The 1 commonly eaten nut that may spike blood sugar

How omega-3s influence vascular aging

The role of selenium in thyroid and antioxidant protection

Why portion control matters more after 60

How to strategically pair nuts for better glucose control

We’ll cover walnuts, almonds, pistachios, Brazil nuts, macadamias — and why cashews require caution in certain metabolic states.

This isn’t about calories.
It’s about using food as metabolic medicine.

If you’re over 60 and want better energy, sharper thinking, healthier cholesterol, and improved fat-burning capacity — this video will change how you look at nuts forever.
