Product Description
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter actually supplies all 3 macronutrients in 1 serving -
carbohydrates, protein and fat. It may not be as healthy as spinach
or broccoli, calorie for calorie, but its a great source of vitamin
E, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, folate, magnesium, copper and manganese.
It also contains vitamin B5, iron, potassium, zinc and selenium in
small amounts. Peanut butter contains a certain antioxidant called
resveratrol, which has been known to fight free radicals that can
cause heart disease and cancer.
Peanut Butter Benefits
1. Weight Loss
With 180 to 210 calories per serving, calling peanut butter a diet
food may seem counter-intuitive. But truth be told, eating peanut
butter actually suppresses hunger which leads to weight loss. It
has the enviable combination of fiber (2.6 g per serving) and
protein (7-8 g per serving) that keeps you feeling full for longer,
so you end up eating less overall. And since there's nothing more
indulgent than licking peanut butter off a spoon, once you do - you
try to stay on track after.
2. Heart Healthy
Peanut butter contains a substance called p-coumaric acid which
helps in offsetting the damage done to cells associated with
cardiovascular diseases. Also, peanut butter contains more
unsaturated fat than saturated fat making it a fat friendly food
which lowers the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart
disease.
3. Lowers Risk of Cancer
Eating a vitamin Erich diet lowers the risk of stomach, colon,
lung, liver, and other cancers. Peanut butter is packed with
cancer-fighting vitamin E.
4. Protects Against Alzheimers Disease and Other Neurodegenerative
Diseases
Peanuts are one of the foods highest in niacin, and people who eat
foods rich in niacin i.e. Vitamin B3 are less likely to develop
Alzheimers disease or other memory disorders. The niacin contained
within peanut butter helps in the recovery of cell damage of the
brain, which provides protection against this disease. Also, the
p-coumaric acid content in peanut butter helps fight the oxidative
stress on the cells of the body associated with neurodegenerative
diseases.
5. Prevents Gallstones
Consuming peanut butter in moderation can actually reduce the risk
of gallstones by 25%. This is because a large percentage of
gallstones are cholesterol stones, which are linked to high levels
of 'bad' cholesterol. Peanuts have the ability of lowering LDL (bad
cholesterol) and increasing 'good' cholesterol i.e. HDL, thereby
reducing the possibility of developing gallstones.
6. Lowers Risk of Diabetes
Peanuts and peanut butter have been shown to positively affect
blood sugar control and help decrease the risk of diabetes. Eating
about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter at least 5 days a week can
reduce the risk of developing diabetes by almost 30%, particularly
Type 2 Diabetes.
7. Promotes Strong Bones
Iron and calcium are found in abundance in peanut butter which are
important for transporting oxygen in the blood and promoting
healthy, strong bones. According to The Orthopedic Group, P.C,
Including healthy protein in your daily diet like peanut butter is
a good option to maintain strong bones.
8. Bodybuilders Rejoice!
Each 2-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains more than 8 g
of protein, 2 g of dietary fiber, 208 milligrams of potassium, more
than half a gram of iron, 24 micromilligrams of folate, 188
calories and 3 grams of sugars. It fits a bodybuilders nutrition
needs perfectly by supporting intense weightlifting. All you have
to do is keep a jar of peanut butter at your office or in your gym
bag, providing quick protein directly following a workout. You can
also slather it on a few slices of apple - a quick fix for energy
and calories.
