What is up with Kanye and that music video? Was there suppose to be a point to having all those wax figures in one bed? So many people are mad and praising him at the same time. I still don’t even understand the video and I’ve watched it plenty of times. I guess he feel he got so much money that he waiting for law suits to come to his front […] View
Peanuts have always been a part of our diet. We ate them as snacks specially while sitting on the sea shore, just boiled them, added them in our dishes and now I have the peanut butter on the breakfast table.
Peanuts are indeed a good source of energy and protein. Even though I get a reaction after taking them I still don’t stop because I need protein in my body as well. I don’t understand why do many people have an intolerance when it comes to peanuts yet they ar3 very nutritous. It is one of my favorite pass time snack I love them though I have to take them once in a while thanks for sharing.
Peanuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, the type of fat that is emphasized in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. Studies of diets with a special emphasis on peanuts have shown that this little legume is a big ally for a healthy heart. In one such randomized, double-blind, cross-over study involving 22 subjects, a high monounsaturated diet that emphasized peanuts and peanut butter decreased cardiovascular disease risk by an estimated 21% compared to the average American diet.
In addition to their monounsaturated fat content, peanuts feature an array of other nutrients that, in numerous studies, have been shown to promote heart health. Peanuts are good sources of vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein, and manganese. In addition, peanuts provide resveratrol, the phenolic antioxidant also found in red grapes and red wine that is thought to be responsible for the French paradox: the fact that in France, people consume a diet that is not low in fat, but has a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the U.S. With all of the important nutrients provided by nuts like peanuts, it is no wonder that numerous research studies, including the Nurses’ Health Study that involved over 86,000 women, have found that frequent nut consumption is related to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
