THE PEANUT 

Peanuts can help us reduce bad cholesterol levels, allow us to satisfy hunger with a small amount and improve cases of depression.

Although it should be eaten in moderation, as it is a very high-calorie food, specialists suggest incorporating it into your daily diet: it is very beneficial due to the high level of monounsaturated fats and protein it contains. It is a food suitable for celiac patients and, in addition, it helps to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood.

Pregnant women, or those who want to get pregnant, should know that peanuts provide a large amount of folic acid, which helps correct ovulation before pregnancy and normal development of the baby, preventing malformations and pregnancy problems.

Contrary to what is normally believed, despite the large amounts of fat that peanuts contain, as these are favorable for your health, their consumption helps your liver to balance its functioning and your pancreas to process sugar more easily.

In addition, consuming a quarter cup of peanuts a day helps generate high levels of serotonin in the brain, which translates into hormonal balance and makes peanuts a natural ally against depression. Other benefits, like most nuts, peanuts help calm anxiety when eating and will always be a good friend during diets: just a small portion produces satiety. Due to its oils, peanuts eliminate bad cholesterol and generate more good cholesterol, which helps prevent cerebrovascular diseases.
