Health experts and nutritionists are providing guidance on balanced diets and the role of nutrient-dense foods. In France, medical professionals such as hepatogastroenterologist Dr. Marie-Christine Boutron Ruault recommend a daily nut consumption of approximately 20 to 30 grams—roughly a small handful—to balance mineral intake with caloric density.

Broadening the scope to dietary models, experts suggest following the Harvard healthy plate model, which emphasizes a composition of half vegetables, one quarter protein, and one quarter carbohydrates. In Moldova, public health data shows that only about 40% of the population meets the recommended daily intake of five fruit and vegetable portions. Nutritionists highlight that nuts and seeds remain vital components of a healthy diet due to their unsaturated fats, fiber, and essential vitamins, which can assist in cardiovascular health and glycemic control.
