2. Pistachios
Pistachios should definitely be your favorite snack for your next Netflix binge. They are both tasty and healthy, so try to add them to your diet as soon as possible. Did you know that pistachios are one of the most vitamin B6-rich foods on the planet? Along with that title, pistachios are also known for being heart-friendly.
Okay… but what about their cholesterol-lowering power? It all started with a study on nuts and seeds. The same study concluded that “pistachios are packed with the most cholesterol-lowering phytosterols of commonly eaten nuts and seeds.”
Plus, pistachios may aid weight loss due to the fact that they are energy-dense. And that’s not all: pistachios contribute to eye health; promote healthy gut bacteria, reducing the risk of developing certain digestive problems; and they are superfoods when it comes to blood sugar control, because they have a low glycemic index.
P.S.: We bet that pistachios are one of the most versatile foods in your pantry right now! You can eat them as a healthy afternoon snack, or you can even sprinkle them over your favorite salad.
