This improved lipid ratio lowers the risk of heart attacks and stroke. They also contain l-arginine that improves the flexibility of the arterial wall to reduce the occurrence of blood clots. Blood Sugar Control: A 100-gram serving of pistachios provides 30% of the recommended daily intake of magnesium. This mineral aids in controlling blood sugar, and is a key ingredient in diabetes medication. Rich in Vitamins: Pistachios provide a number of B-complex vitamins that include thiamin, pantothenic acid, folate, niacin, and riboflavin. They aid in brain health and prevent age-related cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer's. The nuts also contain zinc, calcium, manganese, copper, phosphorous and selenium.
