Stress Busting - Pistachios

DAY 8 - PISTACHIOS

Another food which is great for snacking on and can also help to combat stress and anxiety in the long term is pistachios.

Studies have found that simply eating two small, snack-size portions of pistachios per day can lower vascular constriction when you are stressed, putting less pressure on your heart by further dilating your arteries.
​
Along with this, the rhythmic, repetitive act of shelling pistachios can actually be quite therapeutic!
