Pills Or Peanuts
(Sue Rado)
PILLS or PEANUTS?In this modern world, more and more people are becoming dependent on PILLS for different health problems. Some of the health problems are associated with our food habits for fast foods and deficiency of certain nutrients. Nuts, both soil-rooted and tree nuts, are best source of protein and help human body develop good defense system to fight against diseases. Peanuts as well as tree nuts give cholesterol-lowering drugs to have greater demand if you incorporate them into a diet with other heart-healthy ingredients such as soya, lentils, psyllium husk, oats, barley and plant sterols.In short, peanuts are nutrient filled packages. There are few reasons why we should consider eating them regularly (unless, of course, some of us have a PEANUT allegy).Peanuts have high-protein content and contain arginine, an amino acid that makes blood vessels relax.Despite being high in total fat, peanuts have a low level of saturated fat.Peanuts are rich in magnesium which protects against the metabolic syndrome, a situation leading to heart disease.Frequent peanut intake protects against type 2 diabetes.Peanuts provide potassium, which is important for blood-pressure control.Peanut eaters are generally slimmer-they have a lower body mass index. Foods rich in vitamin E, such as peanuts, guard against Alzheimer?s disease.Three ways to eat more peanuts:1. Snack on whole, freshly shelled peanuts, preferably with their skin. The red skin is loaded with resveratrol, a strong antioxidant responsible for positioning red wine in the news as a heart protector.2. Spread your bread with natural peanut butter instead of margarine or dairy butter. The natural version has no added salt, sugar, or fats!3. Toss peanuts into a stir-fry or add to fried rice.Daily peanut intake can keep you away from becoming dependent on pills. So choice is yours: PILLS or PEANUTS.
