Peanut butter

The 5 + 1 benefits of peanut butter!
Peanut butter, a very popular product in America, in recent years is becoming increasingly popular in Greece. Despite its name it actually has nothing to do with butter.

It is essentially a ground pistachio pulp. It is an excellent ingredient for fast, healthy and delicious snacks and can be used in sweets, as a spread for bread or even in sauces in cooking.

In addition to great taste in sandwiches and sweets, peanut butter also has substances that are very beneficial to health, such as protein, good cholesterol and fiber.

According to Consumer Reports, peanut butter is one of the protein foods that contains about 2 grams of fiber per serving (2 tablespoons).

Fiber keeps the digestive system in good working order and can also lower total cholesterol thereby improving a person's cardiovascular health. It is also the best way to start your day, as it ranks among the foods that give us tremendous energy. Whether it is a demanding day at work or your daily morning run, including peanut butter in your breakfast, you will have all the energy you need to meet the demands of your daily life.

Let's see below in more detail the beneficial properties of peanut butter:
1. Contains good fats (good cholesterol)
Peanut butter contains many types of good fats. That is, it is full of vegetable unsaturated fatty acids. Good fats are what our body needs, as some can not synthesize them on their own and are very important, because they benefit our health in the long run. Peanut butter, in other words, contains "good cholesterol", which - when it is at high levels in the bloodstream - can reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol should not be considered a health hazard, as it provides stability to every cell in the body. The HDL cholesterol in peanut butter removes bad cholesterol (LDL). HDL also has the ability to keep the inner walls of the endothelium healthy by helping to prevent atherosclerosis, which is a major risk factor for heart attack. Peanut butter also contains magnesium in an amount equal to 14% of the daily human intake (per 1 serving = two tablespoons). Magnesium is essential for glucose metabolism, which is associated with a lower risk of diabetes.

2. It is rich in fiber
Apart from the fact that peanut butter is high in protein (nuts have always been high in protein), it has another advantage. Contains fiber. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients our body needs to function properly. Peanut butter contains 2 grams of fiber per serving. If we combine peanut butter with other foods rich in fiber, such as broccoli, then we have the ideal meal.

3. It satisfies us, so it helps to lose weight
Let us not be surprised that peanut butter helps us lose weight! It may contain a lot of calories, but it keeps us full for longer. So a spoonful of peanut butter a day reduces appetite and beats wrinkles, thus helping to lose weight. It is also one of the foods that give tremendous energy during the day.

4. Protects the heart
Peanut butter is one of the foods that in small quantities give us a multitude of beneficial ingredients. Among the nutrients, peanut butter has a high content of antioxidants, which we know protect us from cardiovascular disease.

5. Helps manage type 2 diabetes
Peanuts, like their pulp, are low in carbohydrates. So they can help prevent a sudden rise in blood sugar and are therefore an ideal choice for people with type 2 diabetes.

6. It is good for the health of the hair and the skin
Peanuts contain biotin, a B vitamin essential for good hair and scalp health. They also contain vitamin E, which nourishes the skin and protects it from harmful UV rays.

Peanut butter is one of the foods that contribute to fat loss and helps us keep our BMI at normal levels. It is healthy, filling and fills us with energy. And finally, let us not forget the most important.
