Living a healthy lifestyle and eating plenty of nuts can also have its risks, it seems.

A villager from the small hamlet of Ankang in China was reportedly keen on eating nuts to achieve longevity.

And to crack his little nuggets of health, he would use a handy implement that had been gifted to him by a friend decades earlier.

And thus he would tirelessly crack away at his nuts, year after year, utilizing this handy tool.

The man only realized that he had been using a hand grenade after police handed out leaflets depicting dangerous items.

It is unknown where the grenade came from, or why his ‘friend’ gave it to him.

The device is now safely disposed of, and the man is currently cracking his nuts with a non-explosive kitchen tool.
