Heart Health


Want to keep your heart healthy? Eat pistachios! There is growing evidence that shows a diet that includes tree nuts, such as pistachios, is associated with a healthy heart. Keep reading!


Phytosterols


Everybody's talking about cholesterol. Well, pistachios can help support cardiovascular management thanks to something called phytosterols (a plant sterol found abundantly in pistachios) which actually compete with cholesterol from the diet for absorption. Due to their nutritional composition or phytonutrients package, pistachios may be unique from other nuts in their ability to elevate healthy HDL cholesterol levels, when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat.


Phytosterols—or plant sterols—are popping up everywhere on supermarket shelves. They're being added to orange juices, margarines, yogurt and even chocolate. This comes as a result of more than 140 studies showing that plant sterols can significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels. Plant sterols occur naturally in a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, grain products, vegetable oils, and nuts like pistachios. Although most feeding trials use high doses of more than 2 grams of phytosterols a day, studies have shown beneficial effects of reduced cholesterol absorption at lower levels, similar to the levels found in plant-based diets with pistachios.


Good Fats

While pistachios are a rich source of dietary fat (14g per 30g serving); almost 90% of the fat is the healthy unsaturated type, mono- and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated fat, mostly as oleic acid, comprises 55% of the fat in pistachios. Researchers at UC Irvine recently identified an appetite-suppressing compound in oleic acid called oleoylethanolamide or OEA, which helps you feel fuller longer after a meal. (2;3)


Polyunsaturated fat, primarily linoleic acid, comprises 32% of the fat in pistachios. Linoleic acid is an omega-6 essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized in the body, so adequate intakes are important to health. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends intakes of at least 12g of linoleic acid per day for women and 17g for men. A 30g serving (about 1 ounce) of pistachios provides 4.09g, which is 24% and 34% of the requirements for men and women, respectively.


Potassium


Pistachios provide about 310mg of potassium per 30g serving; more than any other tree nut, and more than is found in half of a large banana. Potassium is required by the body for the function of all cells. The recommended potassium intake is 4,700 mg/day.


An inadequate intake of potassium is characterized by increased blood pressure, salt sensitivity, risk of kidney stones, and bone turnover. A low intake may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
