The math is simple: the higher your cholesterol level, the greater your risk of heart disease. The good news is that pistachios provide an especially rich source of phytochemicals, compounds that have been found to help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Add to this pistachios' high level of monounsaturated fat, and you have the ultimate heart-healthy snack.
	Did you know you could get more dietary fiber from a single serving of pistachios than from half a cup of broccoli or spinach? Pistachios not only boost energy and satisfy your craving, they offer an excellent source of dietary fiber – 10% of your Daily Recommended Value to be exact.
