A nut named pistachio has countless health benefits. It is known as the green nut and smiling but also. It is easily available around the globe. However, pistachios are a constant nut that has been consumed for years, especially in winters.
Here are the reasons why pistachio should be included in your daily regimen:

Also, they bridge hunger between meals, helping to avoid overeating during mealtimes. While, other snacks contain added sugar, fats and more properties that harm the body. If you are watching Netflix or movies on Tv then you should eat a handful of pistachios rather than a tub of salted popcorn.
2) The ultimate protein: A good source of protein for vegetarians. It is added to the dry snacks because it is rich in proteins, pistachios act as an ideal protein supplement for a good amount of vegetarians in India who want to avoid the non-dairy, or non-meaty options to be considered.
4) Good for the gut: It contains almost three grams of fiber per serving, pistachios are a rich source of fiber. However, fiber acts as a fuel to our bodies which not only keeps you feeling fuller but also smoothens digestion and prevents constipation.
5) Stress buster: During this Covid-19 pandemic, this work-from-home option has its merits and demerits. One of the biggest demerits is munching. As we work in our comfort zone, we need snack racks in our house. So, to satiate the binger in you, and to reduce the stress levels you can always choose to eat pistachios. According to the research, shelled pistachios give you a feeling of being full, while the act of de-shelling pistachios helps reduce some stress.
Better without a dessert: Apart from eating pistachios you can top it up on the homemade desserts to derive some protein. You can add them to the homemade cookies, cakes or other meals as it contains nutty flavour and a firm texture, even the yum taste of pistachios cannot be compromised at all.
