In addition to all of their protein, fiber, and copper, pistachios tout an impressive amount of vitamin B6, thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals, according to Healthline. Additionally, their high levels of zinc, magnesium, healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants are all linked to improved heart health. Did we mention studies have shown that regularly eating pistachios can aid in reducing bad cholesterol? Plus, other studies have shown pistachios can improve blood vessel dilation and blood sugar levels.
However, their tasty flavor can make them irresistible, so be sure not to overindulge in pistachios. "Aim for 1 to 1½ ounces a day. (That's about a handful.) Or, if you're more the counting sort, there are roughly 49 pistachios in an ounce," the Cleveland Clinic suggests. A trick to avoid eating too many? Registered dietitian Laura Jeffers told the Cleveland Clinic she advises buying the shelled variety of pistachios. "They'll take a little longer to eat because you'll have to pry open the shells," she explains. "The shells also are a great visual reminder of how many you've eaten. This can help to keep you on track with portion size."
