3. Pistachios: A Dieters Favorite
With less than four calories each, pistachios might be the most slimming nuts around. Because most pistachios sold in the shell, this also helps dieters because it makes you automatically slow down the pace. The University of Texas Anderson Cancer Center conducted research that found that eating just two ounce of pistachios each day might be able to reduce the risk of lung cancer.
These tasty nuts are also loaded with potassium, which is important for lower blood pressure levels, a healthy central nervous system, and muscle function. Pistachios are also a great source of vitamin B6, which strengthen the immune system and improve your mood.
