Great news! Especially since I love pistachio nuts! Turns out, eating them may be good for your heart.
“Our study has shown that pistachios, eaten with a heart healthy diet, may decrease a person’s CVD risk profile, says Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition and primary investigator of the study.”
In the study, those on the pistachio diet had their LDL cholesterol, or the bad cholesterol, lowered.
