开心果是最健康的坚果之一，因为其高含量的蛋白质、钙、铁、铜、油酸和抗氧化物，诸如维生素A和E，同时开心果比大多数其他坚果的脂肪含量更低，并能够降低身体毒性，这一点对于疗愈任何疾病至关重要。
开心果对血液、免疫系统、心血管系统、肌肉系统和神经系统都有着惊人的滋养作用，有助于降低血液中的脂质和脂蛋白，从而帮助降低低密度脂蛋白（坏）胆固醇，并提升高密度脂蛋白（有益）胆固醇；帮助预防冠状动脉疾病、中风、感染、失忆、2型糖尿病、失眠、神经系统疾病，皮肤癌和黄斑变性。
生开心果(raw pistachios)非常有益于改善便秘、皮肤干燥问题，并强健肝脏和肾脏。为了获得健康益处，请选择天然颜色的无盐生开心果（即没有经过红色或绿色染料加工的开心果）。
开心果也是极佳的减肥辅助。每天一小把开心果可以帮助抑制食欲，同时给人充足的精力；开心果油也非常滋养皮肤，可以让皮肤焕发活力，适合用于按摩和化妆品中。
注：各类坚果有健康益处，但摄入量以每天不超过手掌中握起一把的量为宜，以避免饮食中摄入过量的油脂和脂肪。如果想要进行深层净化和疗愈，建议完全避免油脂和脂肪（包括健康脂肪和油脂）。更多信息，请见：油脂和脂肪的迷思（无油脂饮食是否会缺乏营养？不吃任何油脂或脂肪会对健康不利吗？）
Pistachios
Pistachios are one of the healthiest nuts available due to their high content of protein, calcium, iron, oleic acids, and antioxidants such as vitamins A & E. Pistachios contain less fat than most other nuts and are inclined to be alkaline-forming which is essential in healing illnesses and disease.
Pistachios are incredibly nourishing for the blood as well as the immune system, cardiovascular system, muscular system, and nervous system. They are also an excellent weight loss aid. Just one handful a day can help to curb your appetite and keep you energized throughout the day. Pistachios are known to help lower lipids and lipoproteins in the blood which ultimately helps to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Raw pistachios are highly beneficial for constipation, dry skin, and for toning the liver and kidneys. Pistachios can help to prevent coronary artery disease, strokes, infections, memory loss, type 2 diabetes, insomnia, neurological disorders, skin cancer, and macular degeneration. For ultimate health benefits, choose raw, unsalted nuts that are natural in color (meaning no red or green dye).
Pistachio nut oil is also excellent for revitalizing and nourishing the skin and is excellent for massage therapy and cosmetic use as well. Consider finding more ways to incorporate this healthy nut into your regular diet. Pistachios work great with salads, trail mix, and even fresh pesto!
