    Dr. Michael Roizen answered:
    Nuts contain monounsaturated fats to keep your arteries clear, as well as levels of precursors of serotonin to boost mood. Eating 1 ounce a day is just right; more is fine, but remember to be careful of calorie overload-an ounce is about 12 walnuts or 24 almonds. The brain/body benefit? The RealAge for men becomes 3.3 years younger; for women, it's 4.4 years younger.
