Pistachios help control weight, experiment shows

British dietitians: replacing desserts with pistachios cuts daily calories by 20% and reduces waist circumference by 2 cm in six months.

According to British dietitians, if the goal is to lose weight, pistachios should be added to the diet. Pistachios should replace standard snack foods. As experiments have shown, pistachios reduced daily calorie intake by 20%.

Replacing desserts with pistachios led to a reduction in waist circumference of almost 2 centimeters (about one clothing size) over six months. This occurred without any changes to the rest of the diet or physical activity level. Pistachios are ideal for snacking thanks to their composition. They are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

Pistachios are also recommended for high blood pressure. Just one serving of pistachios is enough to lower blood pressure without significant side effects or risk of complications. Studies have shown that pistachios relax blood vessels, thereby influencing blood pressure.
