Pistachio NutritionPistachio (The Skinny Boss!)

u are hungry??! Take a few pistachios and enjoy its delicious taste and crunchy. Some people may wonder how these delicious crunchy nuts could also be good and healthy for them. So, we must develop people ...

This is called thin nuts because he has less fat and calories, the portion of the pistachio is a half-cup with the shells on or quarter of a cup of shells off and 1 serving of pistachios has more potassium than a banana great, has more antioxidants than green tea.

Vitamins, minerals and calories.

Pistachios have more than 30 vitamins and minerals and essential nutrients. Also pistachios are rich in copper, manganese and phosphorus, which helps build your bones healthy and strong. They also contain a significant amount of potassium and magnesium, which helps regulate heartbeat and blood pressure.

Pistachios are also rich in vitamin B6 and other B vitamins, so they help you build muscles, increase your energy and fight the infection.

In the USDA study pistachios were placed in group of most antioxidant capacity compared to 100 other foods. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage. And what makes the pistachio is a compound called lutein, which is to prevent the most common form of blindness in adults over 65. Pistachio nuts are not to contain this powerful antioxidant.

1 ounce serving of pistachios about 28.3 grams with 49 cores have 160 calories.

Pistachios and cholesterol.

There is a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that pistachios can be a heart healthy food, because it can lower your LDL and raise HDL cholesterol.

We all need fat in our diet, it adds flavor and helps us feel full longer, but you must choose the good fats (unsaturated) and not bad fats (saturated), the pistachio is an excellent snack because they contain nearly 90% unsaturated fats. Thus, you can improve your heart health and lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise your HDL (good) cholesterol by replacing saturated fats with mono-or polyunsaturated.

Pistachios may actually decrease the absorption of dietary cholesterol food for something called phytosterol Thanks in pistachios.

Pistachios are wonderful!

Pistachios are really wonderful as snacks and they are really rich in fiber, a serving of pistachios may give you 3 grams of fiber so you can enjoy these, you can put them in salads or throw them in your green You can even put them on your ice cream, it would be so delicious and the good thing about the snack on the pistachio is that they make you feel full longer and increases the time to get hungry again, and I think it is an added bonus! And this happens because of its large amount of protein, fiber and healthy fats.
