Welcome to Nuts for Life

We’re Australia’s voice for the vital role nuts play in good health and nutrition. We inspire people to enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day. An initiative of the Australian nut industry, we also work closely with health professionals, government, and other bodies to improve the nutritional reputation of nuts.

Enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day.

At least $980 million could be saved in health care costs each year, if all Australians ate 30g of nuts a day.

An Australian research trial suggests whole orchard recycling has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of almond orchards.

Heart disease is the single biggest killer of Australians. DYK that more than one in five Aussies, aged 45 to 75 years, have a moderate to high risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years?

The good news is that we can help prevent and manage heart disease by following a heart-healthy eating pattern. ❤️

And eating for heart health is a lot about ADDING nutrient-rich foods that lower risk factors, like high cholesterol. And that’s where nuts come in! 🙌

Nuts provide healthy mono- and poly-unsaturated fats, fibre, antioxidants, and plant-based omega-3s. Good evidence shows that they help lower total cholesterol and bad (LDL) cholesterol, and benefit a range of other blood markers.

Three easy ways to add nuts to your day:
✔ Snack on a handful of mixed nuts
✔ Add nuts to overnight oats or brekkie cereal
✔ Include nuts (or nut butters) in smoothies.
