Nutritional Benefit of Peanuts:

According to article by Mr.Dan Brennan (MD) on 14th November 2020, published on “Nourish by WebMD”, Peanuts,

1. Support heart health. Peanuts help prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. They can also stop small blood clots from forming and reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

2. Support weight loss. Foods with a lot of protein can help you feel full with fewer calories. And among nuts, peanuts are second only to almonds when it comes to protein count. Studies have shown that people who include a moderate amount of peanuts in their diet will not gain weight from peanuts. In fact, peanuts could help them lose weight.

3. Longer life span. Eating peanuts might help you live longer too. A large-scale study found that people who regularly ate any kind of nuts (including peanuts) were less likely to die of any cause than were people who rarely ate nuts.

4. Lower risk of diabetes. Peanuts are a low-glycaemic food, which means that eating them won’t cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that eating peanuts can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in women.

5. Reduce inflammation. Peanuts are a good source of fibre, which helps reduce inflammation throughout your body as well as aids your digestive system.

6. Prevent cancer. Research has demonstrated that for older people, eating peanut butter may help lower the risk of developing a certain type of stomach cancer called gastric non cardia adenocarcinoma.
