The fat content in peanuts accounts for 30%-39% of the total nutrients, but it has little threat to obesity. As long as you eat it in moderation, you can also lose weight. Because peanuts are high-calorie, high-protein and high-fiber foods, they can increase satiety, that is, people often say "more hungry". Studies have shown that eating peanuts is five times as full as eating other high-carbohydrate foods. After eating peanuts, the demand for other foods can be relatively reduced, and the total calorie intake can also be reduced, thus achieving the effect of losing weight.
Most of the fat contained in peanuts is unsaturated fatty acids. For example, tetraenoic acid in peanuts belongs to unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce blood lipid and serum cholesterol and reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. Moreover, the human body itself cannot synthesize unsaturated fatty acids, and it must be ingested through diet. Thus, there is no doubt that eating more peanuts is good for health. Peanut is rich in folic acid, dietary fiber, arginine and other nutrients, which has a protective effect on the heart.
The red skin on the outside of peanut kernel can promote platelet production and avoid platelet aggregation. Peanut can play a certain role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Because platelets are easy to combine with fibrinogen in human body to form plaques, more plaques will cause vascular stenosis and coronary heart disease.
Peanut contains resveratrol, a natural polyphenol with strong biological activity. It is a natural chemopreventive agent for tumor diseases, and can also reduce platelet aggregation and prevent and treat atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Resveratrol is listed as one of the most effective anti-aging substances. Peanut products rich in resveratrol will play a greater role in diet and health.
Note: people with weak spleen and stomach should not eat more, and moldy peanuts should not be eaten.
