Pistachios are a delicious treat that you can find in almost any store. They are used in both cooking and medicine due to their medicinal properties.
These light green peel-off nuts contain as many as seven of the eight essential amino acids known today.
As you know, the uninterrupted operation of the cardiovascular system is the key to a long, active and fulfilling life. Therefore, be sure to include pistachios in your diet: according to scientific studies, eating one serving (25 g) of these nuts, rich in monounsaturated fats, daily reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases by 60%.
Strengthens bones
Pistachios also contain large amounts of trace elements necessary for the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Calcium strengthens bones; copper activates enzymatic reactions, strengthens joints and promotes the absorption of iron; magnesium prevents muscle tissue wasting; zinc accelerates muscle recovery from injury.
Retains vision
Of all nuts, only pistachios are high in lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful antioxidants essential for eye health. Therefore, they are especially useful for schoolchildren, students, as well as those who work a lot on the computer.
