8. Pecans: Artery Protection

Yes, pecans make those super tasty pies, but in addition to that, they can improve your overall health heart. Pecans have more antioxidants than any other nut and can stop the formation of plaque in the arteries. The Journal of Nutrition published a study which found that eating pecans can help to lower bad cholesterol levels by as much as 33 percent!

Pecans can also protect your brain, since the vitamin E in these nuts can delay the progression of neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
