Pistachios

Pistachios are a healthy type of nuts. Adding it to your diet can help reduce the risk of hypertension. This effect can be directly attributed to some properties in the nuts that can make the blood vessels dilate. Other nuts like almonds can also provide the same benefit. You can eat pistachios on a daily basis as a snack or add them to different dishes like pestos, crusts, or salads. It is better to purchase unsalted nuts to reduce your intake of salt or sodium. [8]
