A randomized, 2-arm, parallel trial will be conducted to examine the effect of including 2 oz./day of pecans, as a snack, compared to a diet typically consumed by participants intake (devoid of nuts) on markers of peripheral vascular health, lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, and glycemic control. Participants will be randomized to pecans or control for 12-weeks. Outcome assessments will be measured at baseline and 12-weeks.
