According to researchers at Tufts University, snacking on pistachios can ward off age-related vision problems. In their study, eating about two handfuls (2-oz) of pistachios daily increased levels of compounds in the retina that protect against damage. The study authors credit lutein, a nutrient in the nuts that helps form these protective pigments, and healthy fats that boost lutein absorption.
