THE ALMIGHTY PISTACHIO

You may not know that pistachios can offer you tremendous health benefits. Don't let the green color and funny shells put you off. Pistachios are healthy and extremely delicious. Why are pistachios good for your health? We'll go over a few different parts of the body, beginning with the smallest.

Pistachios help your cells. That's right! Your cells get tremendous benefits from the antioxidants in these nuts. It's one of the reasons why eating lots of chocolate isn't all that bad. You may not be aware, however, of how helpful antioxidants can be for fighting oxidative stress, which is known to cause cell structure damage. Because of this, antioxidants are incredibly important to your overall health. Did you know that Parkinson's and Alzheimer's have been linked with a lack of antioxidants?

Pistachios help your eyes. Are you concerned about having vision problems or going blind as you become older? You're in luck, because pistachios are high in carotenoids. Why does that matter? Humans need certain carotenoids to maintain good vision. Macular degeneration is one of the main causes of eyesight loss in the elderly. Pistachios contain carotenoids that will actually lower your chance of contracting macular degeneration.

Pistachios help your heart. Do you have a family history of heart disease? Several different institutions, such as Harvard, have done independent tests on pistachios. Each of these tests has suggested that the pistachio can reduce the chance of heart disease in people who regularly eat them. Pistachios are good for your heart! They improve its general health by decreasing your cholesterol levels and increasing your monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

Pistachios help your bowels. Pistachios have as much fiber per ounce as oatmeal. Why is that so important? Fiber has been shown to ease constipation and hemorrhoids because it soaks up excess water in one's bowels. Research shows that fiber reduces the risk of painful diseases like colon cancer and diverticulitis.

Does this sound interesting? Great! But there's more! Pistachios bring you thirty different vitamins and minerals. They also offer a wealth of protein. They provide nutrients like copper, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and B6. These are all things that you need to stay healthy and happy. That's why it is important to add pistachios to your diet now and make them a number one part of your diet every day. Pistachios bring you tremendous benefits.
