we’re going to talk about the four biggest benefits of pistachios I realize

pistachios aren’t really a true nut it’s a seed of a fruit but we’re going to

talk about it today as an actual nut because that’s what people are used to

there’s many benefits of pistachios but there’s four big ones number one out of

all the nuts and seeds it has some of the lowest amounts of oxalates of any of

the nuts almonds have the most oxalates so if you’re sensitive to kidneys

stalin’s for example or even arthritis or even oxalates in general you would

want to consume pistachios or if you have a history of kidney stones

pistachio is your go to nut all right number two

very high in potassium we’re always trying to get more potassium loaded with

potassium good amount of phosphorus if you’ve ever heard of something called

ATP that’s the energy currency of the body which is made in the mitochondria

that stands for adenosine triphosphate so phosphorus gives you energy

zinc very important in over two to three thousand enzymes so I think there’s a

lot I’ve done tons of videos on that in fact let me just put a link down below

because if you haven’t seen some of the videos I’ve done on zinc this one is

actually like a rock star it’s one of the most important minerals that you can

take okay vitamin k1 will help if someone has

excess bleeding b6 very important in a lot of different

biochemical reactions also it can help edema and swelling especially if

someone’s pregnant and they’re just swelling up with fluid this can help b1

one of my favorite vitamins it reduces anxiety it helps you sleep it helps

excessive thinking all the time 24/7 it’s good for stress it’s good for a lot

of things and then we have full-length which is not just important in a growing

child to prevent birth defects but it’s also important and in dolt to prevent

breaks in your chromosome in your DNA so it helps in the repair process if you

efficient you have all sorts of damage in the DNA vitamin E vitamin E is a

important antioxidant but it does a lot more it’s very beneficial for your

muscles for hormones for your endocrine glands and your skin also is vitamin C

and then chlorophyll which is like the green stuff in a plant that’s why I

pistachios are green because it has more chlorophyll this is a good healer in

general and also for your inner skin like anything going on like with

irritation on the inside of your esophagus on down through your colon

this is very very important now in the center of chlorophyll you have the

mineral magnesium so pistachios are high in magnesium which is good for a lot of

things not just for muscle cramps and sleeping and stress but also to make

energy and also to help with your heart rhythm because it’s one of the key

electrolytes alright number three it’s a good source amino acids it’s a good

source of healthy fats it does contain an omega-3 fatty acid called ala it does

have to be converted to DHA the active form and EPA but still it has a good

amount of ala which is kind of a precursor to the active forms of omega-3

fatty acids there’s a lot of other fatty acids that it has and those are also

good for many different things related to cognitive function cardiovascular

function immune system and the list goes on

also it’s very little carb so it’s perfect keto higher fat low carb medium

protein and number four antioxidants now your body makes antioxidants you also

get them from your foods and so both of them combined make up your network of

antioxidants to protect you from the environment creating oxidation and free

radicals and also from your own body making free radicals because that’s kind

of a byproduct of the metabolic process so antioxidants can greatly reduce the

complications of certain illnesses and like diabetes for example that generates

a lot of free radicals inflammation in general so these are

really good compounds and giving your body additional health benefits that go

beyond just vitamins and minerals it has the carotenes which are pre vitamin A

tocopherols which is part of the vitamin E complex and there’s a lot more

as well some that even help with macular degeneration all right there you have it
