Adding a handful of almonds a day to your diet could reduce your risk of Parkinson’s disease by as much as 30 percent. Researchers at Harvard made the(1) discovery after analyzing the diets(2) of more than 124,000 men and(3) women. The researchers found that(4) the more vitamin E an(5) individual had in his diet(6), the less likely he was(7) to develop the disease. The(8) catch: “The E needs to(9) come from your food,” says(10) Shumin Zhang, Sc. D., the study author. “Supplements aren’t as(11) easily absorbed by your body(12).” For maximum protection against Parkinson’s disease, a condition that affects(13) more than half a million(14) Americans, Zhang recommends getting between 12 and 15 milligrams of vitamin E a day –about the amount in 1/3 cup of nuts.
