Seniors, Eating Cashews After 70 Avoid These 5 Dangerous Mistakes | Senior Health Tips

#healthafter60#seniorhealth#seniorwellness For years, seniors have been told that cashews are heart-healthy, nutrient-dense, and protective against inflammation — and research even backs it up. In fact, a long-term study from Loma Linda University tracking over 7,000 adults found that those who ate cashews regularly had a 37% lower risk of heart disease. But here’s the part most seniors never hear: eating cashews the wrong way after 70 can quietly strain your kidneys, spike blood sugar, interfere with medications, and even trigger sudden allergic reactions you never had before. 😱🥜 If you're over 60 or 70, the way you eat cashews could be silently shaping your digestion, kidney health, blood pressure, metabolism, and even your immune response — far more than you realize. In this video, you’ll uncover the 5 dangerous cashew mistakes seniors must avoid, along with the safe, science-backed ways to enjoy them without harming your health: 🚫 Eating oversized portions that overload the kidneys with oxalates and trigger weight gain ❌ Choosing salted or flavored cashews that spike sodium, raise blood pressure, and strain the liver 🥄 Eating cashews on an empty stomach, which causes digestive distress and unstable blood sugar ⚠️ Ignoring medication interactions — including blood thinners, thyroid meds, osteoporosis drugs, and diabetes medications 🚨 Overlooking sudden-onset allergic reactions and cross-sensitivities common after age 70 Every point in this video is backed by leading nutrition, aging, and clinical research — helping you enjoy cashews safely, intelligently, and in a way that truly protects your kidneys, heart, digestion, and long-term health.
