Pistachios Help Patients With Metabolic Syndrome
A high triglyceride level and a low HDL cholesterol level are two out of three metabolic risk factors required for your healthcare practitioner to give you a metabolic syndrome diagnosis.2 The more risk factors you have, the higher your risk for stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
Other risk factors include:
A large "apple-shaped" waistline indicating excess fat in your abdominal area
High blood pressure, or if you're taking medication to treat this condition
High fasting blood sugar, or if you're taking medication to treat this condition
In a 24-week study of 60 people with metabolic syndrome published in the journal Nutrition, researchers prescribed a standard diet and exercise protocol to all participants and added unsalted pistachios as 20 percent of caloric intake for half of them.3
The pistachio-eating group showed a statistically significant improvement in comparison to the control in several parameters, including:
Total cholesterol
LDL cholesterol
Waist circumference
Fasting blood glucose
High Calories
Pistachios, as well as other nuts, can contain a lot of calories due to their high-fat content. If you eat 3 ounces of pistachio nuts, you just added 474 calories to your daily intake. That's as much as a quarter pounder hamburger. Although this may seem like a high-calorie snack, the studies did not see any significant weight gain in the participants eating pistachio nuts on a daily basis.
