Peanuts are a nut with high cost performance. They are not only nutritious, but also have relatively low prices. They appear in many kitchens with high appearance rates. There are rumors that eating peanuts can also help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Does eating peanuts really have such magical effects?

1. American Studies: Eating 4-5 peanuts a day is related to stroke and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

The American Heart Association journal "Stroke", a journal under the American Heart Association , published a study. Researchers conducted statistical analysis of 74,793 subjects and conducted a follow-up survey for 15 years. The results of found that compared with those who usually consumed 0 peanuts, subjects who ate 4 or 5 peanuts a day, the risk of being targeted by stroke and cardiovascular disease is smaller.

Specifically, compared with subjects who do not eat peanuts, the risk of ischemic stroke was reduced by 20%, the risk of stroke was reduced by 16%, and the risk of cardiovascular disease was reduced by 13%.

researchers analyzed that this may be because peanuts contain some substances that are beneficial to cardiovascular health, such as unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, vitamin E, etc., which are good for controlling blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, improving blood lipids, and inhibiting inflammation.

However, this study itself also has certain limitations, and does not consider the processing method of peanuts, and the amount of peanuts consumed mainly depends on the subject's recall, and these limitations themselves will also affect the research results. Therefore, we must also view the role of peanuts in this regard rationally and cannot "deify" them.

2. Peanuts are known as "longevity fruit", but they have two functions.

Peanuts have the title of "longevity fruit". They are not only rich in protein, but also have high lysine content. They are also rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and other minerals as well as vitamin B, vitamin E, etc.

In many studies, the proven health benefits of peanuts include:

, improving cognitive ability
A study published in "Clinical Nutrition" pointed out that eating peanuts is beneficial to young people's cognitive function and stress response. Researchers analyzed that the reason why consuming peanuts in is beneficial to young people's cognitive function is mainly related to the increase in short-chain fatty acid levels and the intake of polyphenols compounds. polyphenol compound can enhance the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor , and short-chain fatty acids have good preventive effects on mental illnesses such as depression.
• , regulate blood lipids

  Peanuts contain choline , unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids and other ingredients, which can help emulsify cholesterol and protect the health of human blood vessels.

, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach

Raw peanuts are rich in protein and fat, which can neutralize stomach acid and have certain effects on relieving stomach acid, abdominal pain, etc. However, be careful that eating large amounts of peanuts can easily cause indigestion, so you should control the amount you consume.



But be aware that there are two common senses about the efficacy of peanuts that may be wrong:

• • Peanuts cannot lower blood pressure

  Want to lower blood pressure directly through peanuts and other foods, but in fact the effect is very limited. You may need to eat tons of peanuts to achieve the so-called lowering blood pressure. Therefore, instead of relying on peanuts to lower blood pressure, it is better to eat less high-salt food to prevent high blood pressure and .

  • peanuts cannot replenish blood

    Some people also believe that peanuts can replenish blood, but in fact, when the human body makes blood, it is necessary to participate in the cooperation of vitamin B12, folic acid , iron and other nutrients. Peanuts rarely or do not contain these substances, so it is unrealistic to replenish blood by relying on peanuts.

    

    3. Eat peanuts to avoid 3 risks. You can feel at ease eating

    . The edible value of peanuts is of course very high, but when eating peanuts, you must avoid the following three risks to avoid improper consumption, which is not conducive to your health.
