Sleep plays a crucial role in regulating your cardiovascular health. Poor or insufficient sleep disrupts your body’s ability to repair and regulate blood pressure. Studies show that people who consistently get less than 6 hours of sleep are at higher risk of developing hypertension.  

Scientific evidence suggests that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may lower the risk of heart disease. In vitro research has shown that pistachio extracts have a strong antibacterial and antiviral activity. Research has shown that women with prediabetes and gestational diabetes had a lower increase in blood sugar after eating pistachios when compared to eating whole wheat bread.
