Lower cholesterol levels

Eating pecans on a daily basis helps to keep cholesterol levels in check. A high cholesterol level in the body is one of the causes of numerous cardiovascular diseases. According to a study conducted by Rajaram S. et al., pecans, with their high monosaturated fat content, may be advised as part of the diet for anyone who wants to lower their cholesterol levels.

Pecans help to keep blood sugar levels stable, especially in people with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes raises the risk of cardiovascular problems, thus eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients is essential. Their consumption is not only recommended for diabetics, but also for people who want to avoid getting diabetes in the first place.
