Food-As-Medicine:

Cashews and almonds are a great source of healthy fats paired with protein and a moderate dose of carbs. They are correlated with increased life expectancy and this may be due to their content of monounsaturated fats which improve vessels health and arginine which aids in dilating blood vessels decreasing blood pressure.
