Recent studies at Pennsylvania State University have found that eating a few pistachio kernels a day (which has healthy ingredients and a low-fat diet) can significantly lower LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol levels. Lowering bad cholesterol means keeping the arteries in the body open and performing a complete blood transfusion.
``Our research has shown that pistachios are a healthy diet for the heart, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease in humans,`` said Dr. Penny Chris-Etherton. Pistachios are rich in the antioxidant lutein. Lutein is commonly found in green vegetables and brightly colored fruits. Pistachios are higher in nutrients than other nuts. ``Pistachio lutein prevents cholesterol from closing the arteries.`` In one study, they even increased the amount of pistachios eaten by volunteers, and their experiments showed better results.
Pistachios and Europe, the Middle East and Asia
According to a popular belief in men in the Middle East and Asia, where more pistachios are found in their diets, the power of masculinity and the quality of sperm and erections are greater than in European regions. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew this because of the presence of pistachios in their food and sweets. It is clear that the high general wisdom of individuals maintains the health of individuals.
