Experiment shows: eating peanuts every day for half a year can lose 10 jin (about 5 kg) of weight. There were 101 obese middle-aged and elderly men and women organized by American researchers, divided into two groups, one group was designated to eat low-fat diet (mainly lean meat and vegetables), the other group ate nut diet (mainly peanut oil, peanut butter, mixed nuts, and vegetables). After half a year, both groups lost an average of 11 pounds, but after one year, the first group's weight rebounded, while the group that ate peanuts did not gain weight. This discovery challenges people's common sense. People have always believed that eating high-fat foods like peanuts and peanut butter easily leads to obesity. However, studies have found that eating peanuts and peanut butter regularly not only does not lead to obesity, but also reduces the incidence of heart disease. Experts point out that eating peanuts and peanut butter easily gives a feeling of fullness, which can control appetite and is very suitable for lazy people to use when losing weight. Studies have found that indulging in peanut butter can make you feel full but not easily gain weight. Many people may feel surprised because peanut butter is a high-calorie food, two tablespoons of peanut butter contain 16 grams of fat and 200 calories, but many people also ignore one point, peanut butter easily makes people feel full. In addition, high-quality peanuts, peanut oil, and other peanut products contain a nutrient called folic acid, which contains a large amount of monounsaturated fatty acids that can increase heat dissipation, burn harmful cholesterol, and reduce high blood lipids. Besides folic acid, peanuts also contain various beneficial fibers that have the effect of clearing intestinal waste and will not lead to obesity. iddy0002
