Lao Zhang himself also go online to check some information, found for peanuts can lower blood fat, prevent heart and blood disease of the claim that each has a thousand, it own time do not know who to believe in the good.
Peanuts are "good for health"?
In our opinion, the biggest cause of cardiovascular disease is the body's fat content is too high, deposited in the blood vessels, blood viscosity increases, blood flow rate slows down, thus inducing a series of cardiovascular disease, and peanuts in the fat and protein, fat is not known as the "source of all evil", this food is not going to affect the health of blood vessels?
In fact, this understanding is one-sided, peanuts in the fat more monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, such nutrients can reduce bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, improve blood lipid profile, prevention of cardiovascular disease.
According to the results of the Harvard University study on the intake of nuts in moderation and the risk of cardiovascular disease: adding peanuts as a snack in place of other refined grains in the usual diet, although it does not significantly change the parameters of glucose and blood lipids, but to a certain extent it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with metabolic syndrome.
In addition, in 2021, the American Heart Association also published an article on this research, which showed that the unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber and other nutrients contained in peanuts can increase our control of blood glucose, blood lipids and blood pressure, thus preventing cardiovascular disease. People who ate 4-5 peanuts a day had a 13% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 20% lower risk of stroke than those who did not eat peanuts.
Thus, the role of peanuts in cardiovascular disease should not be underestimated. In fact, peanuts can be more than these roles, there are intellectual brain, slow aging, increase satiety, conducive to weight loss, reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and rectal cancer.
