What are the benefits of eating dried peanuts?
1 Eating raw peanuts has the outstanding advantage of nourishing the stomach, because peanuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol-free, and dietary fiber, and are natural low-sodium foods. Eating a proper amount of raw peanuts (no more than 50 grams) every day is good for nourishing the stomach. At the same time, peanut red also has the effect of growing hair and blackening hair. Regular consumption can make hair darker and brighter. But not everyone eats raw peanuts. For example, some patients with traumatic injuries should not eat it. Peanut red coat can stop bleeding and promote blood coagulation. People with traumatic injuries and blood stasis eat too much, which will make blood stasis difficult to disperse and aggravate blood stasis. In addition, because peanuts contain a lot of oil and need to consume more bile to help digestion, people who have undergone cholecystectomy or gallbladder disease should not eat more peanuts. 2 The benefits of peanuts:

1. Fitness and longevity.

Peanut contains more aspartic acid, so it can relieve fatigue. Fructose in peanuts is levorotatory sugar and contains more hydroxyl groups than other sugars. Not only can it be stored by the liver, but also can be quickly used by the body without accumulating fat. Peanut fat is rich in vitamin E, which can prevent unsaturated fatty acids from being oxidized, eliminate "free radicals" and have anti-aging effect.

2. Delaying the decline of brain function and improving intelligence Peanuts contain more glutamic acid.

Glutamate is the most abundant amino group in the brain, and the excitatory and inhibitory substances of nerve cells mainly come from glutamate; Peanut also contains a certain amount of lecithin, which can be converted into choline by intestinal enzymes, enter the brain and combine with acetic acid to become acetylcholine, which is an important brain-strengthening substance to promote thinking and strengthen memory.

3. Lowering blood pressure, stopping bleeding and lowering cholesterol.

Unsaturated fatty acids and sterols in peanut oil, and luteolin in peanut shell (commonly known as osmanthus fragrans) all have the effect of lowering cholesterol. There is also a folk prescription for treating hypertension with peanut shells: clean the dried peanut shells, add water and decoct, and take 50g to100g of decoction each time.

In addition, peanuts also have the functions of inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing thrombosis and protecting blood vessel wall.

4. Prevention and treatment of various hemorrhagic diseases.

Peanut red coat has the functions of anti-fibrinolysis, promoting bone marrow to produce platelets, enhancing capillary contraction and regulating coagulation factor defects. It not only has hemostatic effect, but also has certain therapeutic effect on bleeding, the primary disease.

5. It has a certain beauty effect.

Unsaturated fatty acids and sterols in peanut fat can make skin moist and delicate, and hair rich and shiny.

note:

Because peanuts contain a lot of fat and are slow to digest and absorb, eating a lot of raw peanuts will cause indigestion. In addition, peanuts grow in the soil and are often polluted by parasitic eggs, which can easily cause parasitic diseases if eaten raw. At the same time, peanuts are often polluted by rodents, which is easy to spread natural focus diseases, especially epidemic hemorrhagic fever. Therefore, peanuts should not be eaten raw, and it is best to cook them before eating.
