Get Younger By Eating Peanuts
Its time to go nuts over peanuts. Antioxidants protect your cells from oxidative damage and therefore one must consume a diet rich in antioxidants. Peanuts contain high concentrations of antioxidant polyphenols. Roasted peanuts rival the antioxidant content of blackberries and strawberries, and are far richer in antioxidants than apples, carrots or beets.
Peanuts are rich in mono-unsaturated fats and Vitamin E which are good for your arteries and also for lowering blood cholesterol. Consuming just 20 gms of peanuts can reduce bad cholesterol by 14 per cent.
Peanuts contain niacin which protect against Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive problems
Peanuts are rich in calcium (good for the bones), iron (essential for the correct functioning of red blood cells) and fiber (lowers risk of color cancer).
Peanuts are also rich in protein which make it a must have for people working out to add muscle. Peanuts also accelerate the growth of male and female hormones.
The best way to consume peanuts is to roast them. Roasting them increases the antioxidant content by 22%.
