Health Benefits Of Pistachios

Pistachios are rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants. Eating them may help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Some research says eating pistachios regularly may also help lower blood pressure. They have a low glycemic index and may help with blood sugar control. Their fiber, protein and healthy fats can help you feel fuller, so they may help with weight management, if eaten in moderation. The fiber they contain also acts as a prebiotic, feeding good bacteria in the gut and promoting gut health. They contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which can protect against age-related eye disease. Avoid pistachios if you have a tree nut allergy.

Coffee & AFib Recurrence

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular heartbeat in which the chambers of the heart don't work together as they should, which may cause the heart to beat faster. A recent study found that drinking 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day reduces a person's risk of recurrent AFib episodes. In this study, 200 adults with persistent AFib, who were also coffee drinkers, were randomly selected either to drink 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day or to abstain from caffeine for 6 months. At the end of the study, researchers found that the coffee group reduced their risk of AFib recurrence by 39%.

Life’s Essential 8

February is Heart Month. The American Heart Association recommends a framework of eight factors toward improving your cardiovascular health. They call these “Life's Essential 8.” They are: eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, avoid smoking, get adequate sleep, maintain a healthy weight, manage blood pressure, control cholesterol, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. These changes are inexpensive and are possible for most people.

Our Clinical Pharmacist and Manager, Dr. Monica Nikseresht, traveled to Des Moines this weekend to speak at the Iowa Pharmacy Association Standard of Care Symposium to share all the exciting ways we are expanding our services to care for our patients locally and beyond as well as learn from fellow pharmacy professionals from 13 states!

She also competed in the 'SOC Tank' competition where she pitched our team's idea for a comprehensive women's health service. Due to the generosity of the Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Network (CPESN) of Iowa, she was awarded a $500 grant to make that vision a reality for our patients--stay tuned!

We are proud to be at the cutting edge of pharmacy Innovation here in Glenwood and we won't stop anytime soon ❤️🎉💊💉

Walking & Alzheimer's Risk

Walking even just 3,000 steps a day may lower the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults, according to new research. This benefit was also seen in older adults who already had high levels of amyloid-beta, a protein that may play a large role in the disease’s development. Researchers found that among older participants with higher levels of amyloid-beta, those who walked fewer than 3,000 steps a day showed quicker cognitive decline than those who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day. Overall, the study discovered that participants who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps per day slowed cognitive decline by an average of 3 years. Those who did 5,000 to 7,500 steps a day delayed cognitive decline by about 7 years.

Vitamin D3 May Slow Aging

Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes. Telomeres get shorter with age, and their shortening is associated with age-related diseases. A recent study randomized participants, with half receiving 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day and the other half receiving a placebo. Results of the study found that telomere shortening in leukocytes (a type of white blood cell) was significantly less in the vitamin D3 group than in the placebo group. Researchers estimated that this effect might be equal to about a 3-year reduction in biological aging. More study is needed to see whether the benefit applies across all ethnicities.
