4. Pistachios promote healthy gut bacteria
One serving of pistachios has a full three grams of fiber. Some of it passes right through you, but some are digested by the “good” bacteria in your gut and fermented to form beneficial short-chain fatty acids, like butyrate, which help prevent digestive disorders.
These fatty acids also keep your gut bacteria in balance, which strengthens the “gut-brain” connection that can help you avoid conditions like heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
