Pistachios may help fight hypertension, according to scientists from the American Heart Association. How informs A Daily Express study found that pistachios helped lower high blood pressure.
The experiment involved two groups of volunteers suffering from both a tendency to hypertension and type II diabetes. The first group ate foods with a low fat content and a large amount of carbohydrates during the experiment, and pistachios were added to the diet of the second group.
A month later, scientists came to the conclusion that thanks to pistachios, the second group managed to significantly reduce blood pressure, they also increased cardiac output and improved some indicators of heart rate variability.
We will remind, earlier nutritionist and endocrinologist Alena Barredo spoke about the universal benefits of the daily use of pistachios. According to her, pistachios are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol. They also contain vitamins A and E, which keep skin youthful, support immunity and improve vision. In addition, pistachios contain magnesium, which helps with stress and to stabilize blood pressure.
