Dr. Michael Greger, a physician who tracks the research on diet and life expectancy, told Lewis that beans and lentils are tied to the biggest lifespan gains in the Global Burden of Disease Study. His reason is your gut: the good bacteria live on fiber, and most of us are starving them.
Ounce for ounce, walnuts pull ahead of every other nut. Michael says a palmful, about 10 halves a day, is enough, because the benefit levels off after that.

Grab a can of lentils for tonight and keep a handful of walnuts on the counter for tomorrow.
