Aunt Chang, who lives in Shenzhen, recently found an abnormal triglyceride during her physical examination. She looked at the physical examination report and couldn't believe it. Aunt Chang is a health expert in the eyes of friends. She usually listens to some health and wellness live classes and then buys various health foods.
I heard that eating peanuts is good, so I bought peanuts and I have to eat a small plate every day. I feel that blood lipid has been well controlled, but I didn’t expect to find out that blood lipid .
After the doctor's consultation, Aunt Chang's high blood lipids were related to frequent eating of peanuts.
Aunt Chang regretted it now. Don’t you say that eating peanuts is good for the cardiovascular system? Why doesn’t it work if you eat it yourself? This peanut is not a “longevity fruit”, it is obviously a “death talisman”.
