Why Pistachios?

Pistachios can contribute to heart-healthy fat, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases. Pistachios can also lower bad cholesterol, and this cuts the risk of coronary heart disease by as much as 12%.

They also change how your blood pressure responds to stress and in a good way. They lower the levels of lipoproteins, which are a risk factor for heart disease. Glucose and insulin levels were found to be lower post pistachio consumption. The nuts also increase the levels of peptide 1, a hormone that regulates glucose levels in diabetics.
