Antioxidants. These compounds are extremely important in gut health and your body’s overall health. They protect cells from oxidation and free radicals, which damage the cell’s health. NOTE: Walnuts are another source of antioxidants. 

The antioxidants in pistachios are very digestible in the gut, which is great when your gut may not be as healthy as it should. the more stress you can take off your gut the better digestive health you will have. Picking foods that are easily digestible and adding out digestive enzymes is ideal. 

Pistachios also have high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, which help to support eye health. They protect your eyes from damage caused by blue light which is emitted from computers. 

Pistachios are also high in protein and essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The essential amino acids are not made in the body, so you have to eat them.

Pistachios are high in fiber. Fiber aids in better digestive system health. Digested fiber can act as prebiotics. Undigested fibers are fermented and converted into short-chain fatty acids, which work to support gut health. 

Pistachios have been shown to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure. Your body makes cholesterol. LDL or low density and HDL or high density. LDL is the bad one and can be lowered with diet. Of course, exercise is also a good way to do this and just imagine if you did both.
