Pistachios are also a good source of copper, manganese, vitamin B6, thiamin, magnesium, and phosphorous. They also provide lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids associated with a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration.
But, how do pistachios positively impact cholesterol and heart health?
Dr. Ryan Bentley, president of The Wellness Prescription, is one of the featured experts for the teleseries intensive Conversations with the Masters of Healing starting next week!
Dr. Ryan Bentley will be sharing:
Why cholesterol may NOT be the culprit of heart disease as previously thought,
The reason statins are being implicated for a number of serious side effects,
What’s the connection between sexual dysfunction and low cholesterol, and
Using functional medicine to diagnose heart disease and treat the whole person versus just a symptom.
Good news! My friend JJ Virgin, Celebrity Health and Nutrition Expert, is once again sharing her best insider secrets for losing weight and getting fit in record time.
If you don’t know JJ, you should. JJ is the secret weapon celebrities go to for losing (and keeping) the weight off and having a rock star body.
The thing about JJ is that you may be surprised at what you hear from her. It’s not the same old advice you read in the latest fashion or lifestyle magazine. In fact, a lot of that advice is – to put it frankly – not worth the paper it’s printed on. (You probably already intuitively know this based on how “great” your results have been following THAT advice.)
Now you might be wondering why I’m sending this to you…
Here’s what celebrities and successful people from all walks of life know:
The way you look and feel about yourself DIRECTLY impacts your happiness, satisfaction with life, your loved ones, and even your income and success in business.
How to take your inspired WHY and use it to keep you motivated for the long haul
The top foods that could be making you hold onto FALSE FAT and cause cravings
How to DRAMATICALLY improve your health and energy literally overnight
How to turn up the volume on your workouts (hint, they should never get easier!) to ACCELERATE your results big time
How to break out of the fitness and food RUTS that hold you back
New workouts, new veggies, and new recipes that you will LOVE and can incorporate into your life right now
I can’t emphasize enough how powerful and life-changing JJ’s information is when you apply it to your life. Ready to UPLEVEL your game in a serious way? Don’t miss this opportunity…

The 4th of July is just around the corner, which for many of us means BBQ time!
Here are some healthy barbeque ideas so you avoid sabotaging your heart healthy diet:
1. Talk more than you chew.
You don’t have to have a loaded plate to enjoy yourself. Take the time to catch up with a friend. Enjoy watching the kids play. When it’s meal time let others serve themselves first. Select a smaller plate and fill it with the healthiest options limiting foods slathered in mayo, fried, and breaded. Sit down to enjoy the food versus mindlessly eating while standing around the buffet table.
I’m thrilled to announce the kick off of the inaugural teleseminar intensive – Conversations with the Masters of Healing – starting next month!
Conversations with the Masters of Healing is a rare opportunity for you to listen, learn, change your life, and speak to the most incredible practitioners of healthcare and healing. To register click here.
This complimentary Program will run from July 13 to August 3rd, 2010 and includes an absolutely INCREDIBLE line-up of the top names in prevention and wellness . . .
Back in September 2008 a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found 1-2 handfuls of pistachio each day to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Adding 1.5 ounces of pistachios daily resulted in a 9% reduction in LDL cholesterol and 3 ounces lowered LDL cholesterol levels 12%. The study also found HDL cholesterol levels to increase in women who added 3 ounces of pistachios to their daily diet.
Here’s another reason to consider including pistachios as part of your heart healthy diet plan. A 1 ounce serving of pistachios provides 49 nuts, while a 1 ounce serving of almonds equals 23 nuts, pecans 19 nuts, and walnuts 14 nuts. You may feel like you are “getting” a little more when you enjoy a serving of pistachios for a heart healthy snack.
Just keep in mind that nuts, including pistachios, are high in calories. Watch your portion size!
