Peanuts are called "longevity fruit" because they contain more dietary fiber, polyphenols, plant protein and other substances.

So is this really the case?
Actually, otherwise. In 2019, chinese journal of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics Journal once said that peanuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which can inhibit the secretion of triglycerides and reduce the level of triglycerides. Triglyceride is harmful to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of human body to a certain extent. Eating peanuts can greatly improve the blood lipid and blood pressure, and then have a certain influence on the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, the International Forum on Nutritional Value and Industrial Prospect of Peanut has also shown that active ingredients such as flavonoids contained in peanuts have strong antioxidant effect and can promote the regeneration of cells on the inner wall of blood vessels. Then, to a certain extent, the damage to the intima of blood vessels can be alleviated, and the protection of blood vessels can be achieved.
Knowledgeable person Journal also has such a set of data. After eating peanut extract for one month, the decrease of blood pressure can be obviously observed, and the effective rate of triglyceride reduction is as high as 84.80%. Especially for patients with headache, dizziness and other symptoms, this situation has also improved after insisting on eating peanuts.
It can be seen that eating peanuts often plays an important role in protecting blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and blood lipid, and preventing and inhibiting the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Speaking of which, some people are sure to worry that eating peanuts will increase weight.
Although peanuts are rich in fat, unless you eat peanuts as the staple food for three meals a day, and only eat peanuts to satisfy your stomach, it may lead to obesity. At present, most people attribute peanuts to dishes instead of overeating them as staple food. Moreover, folic acid in peanut products can accelerate the combustion of heat in the body, and the fiber in peanut products can also remove intestinal garbage.
That is to say, eating peanuts in a proper amount is good for human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it will not increase your own weight, which is very beneficial to human health.
