These legumes have been studied to help cure many health problems, such as skin and hair problems (hair loss), memory loss, diabetes, and more. Peanuts should be soaked in water and the shells removed before eating. It is important to note that peanuts can cause indigestion and accumulate toxins in the body if eaten in excess. Not recommended for people with digestive problems.
According to Walnuts.lt, peanuts have the following health benefits:
They are an excellent source of fat for vegetarians. The fat in peanuts is more valuable than animal fat because the majority of it is unsaturated fatty acids, which reduce blood cholesterol levels.
Protein is higher than in meat, fish products and eggs.
Peanuts are rich in B vitamins, especially vitamin B3, which must be constantly supplemented with food as it is not stored by the body. Vitamin B3 deficiency impairs memory, sleep, lack of energy, skin inflammations, especially sensitive skin in the mouth, stinging sensation in the mucous membranes of the mouth and tongue.
Peanuts are an excellent source of manganese, a deficiency of which interferes with cholesterol metabolism, slows hair and nail growth, impairs glucose tolerance and causes hormonal changes that can lead to infertility.
