Don't be afraid of peanut butter

Many people are afraid to eat peanut butter for fear of getting fat. However, a recent study by American scientists shows that peanut butter not only does not cause obesity, but also is a very good healthy food.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that people who eat one serving of peanut butter (about two tablespoons) a day can meet the "recommended daily intake standard" promulgated by the US government better than those who don't eat it. This is because peanut butter is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and fiber.

And protein.

The study also found that peanut butter contains a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce the cholesterol content in the human body and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, a study by Harvard University also proved that women who often eat peanut butter and nuts are not prone to diabetes; And the more you eat, the more obvious this effect is.

In response to the view that many people think that peanut butter is a high-fat food and eating too much will lead to obesity, the researchers explained that people who eat peanut butter regularly will not lead to obesity, although they consume more calories. They once divided overweight experimenters into two groups. One group ate low-calorie food, and the other group added peanut butter to the low-calorie food. 18 months later, it was found that the weight loss effect of the latter was almost twice that of the former.

Americans like peanut butter very much. The most common way they eat it is to spread it on bread. Researchers suggest that peanut butter should be mixed with some low-calorie foods, such as whole wheat bread, vegetables and fruits.
