Eat 15 peanuts every day to keep your body in great shape!
An article published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism found that people who snacked on peanuts ate less. Dr. Mattes, a professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Purdue University, said: "The high satiety of peanuts is not just due to the fat, dietary fiber and protein content, but the result of the synergistic effect of all factors." Brigham and Women's Hospital Nutrition Department Chair Kathy McManus says, If you eat peanuts or peanut butter for breakfast, you can eat less throughout the day. This is also particularly helpful for people who are trying to lose weight because obese people feel hungry easily.
Salty snacks are usually high-salt foods. However, salty peanuts contain less salt than sliced bread, frozen waffles, etc. of the same weight. Therefore, salty peanuts can not only satisfy your salty taste, but also prevent excessive salt intake.
The study found that if people replaced a serving of red meat in their diet with peanuts, their risk of developing diabetes would be reduced by 21%. Peanuts slow the absorption of carbohydrates. If you eat some peanuts in the morning, your blood sugar will not be too high throughout the day.
Resveratrol can significantly improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes
Liu Kai and other Chinese scholars from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Third Military Medical University conducted a meta-analysis in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in June 2014. They compiled 11 research reports. The results show that resveratrol can significantly reduce fasting blood sugar, blood insulin concentration, glycated hemoglobin, and insulin resistance in diabetic patients. The conclusion is that resveratrol can significantly improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes. This provides evidence-based nutrition evidence for improving dietary treatment of patients with diabetes. Appropriate supplementation of resveratrol for diabetics can help control blood sugar. In addition, resveratrol has good anti-cancer, antioxidant and cardiovascular protective effects.
Foods containing resveratrol: peanuts, wine, mulberries. Recommended for adultsPeople should eat 10 grams of peanuts (about 15 grains) or 1 small glass of wine every day.
People who eat more peanuts can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 35%. Researchers believe that the fatty acid composition in peanuts, combined with the effects of other ingredients, can reduce the content of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and make the heart healthier.
Studies have found that women who eat peanuts at least twice a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 58%; while men who eat peanuts at least twice a week can reduce the risk by 27%. Scientists have analyzed that it may be the folic acid and other anti-cancer nutrients in peanuts that play a role.
