A healthy diet can help prevent Type 2 diabetes. And for women, a healthy diet may be one that includes at least five servings a week of nuts or peanut butter.
Nuts, however, are high in fat so be sure not to go overboard. Instead, use nuts or peanut butter to replace servings of red or processed meats in your diet.
