Peanuts

Peanuts are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as protein and B vitamins. Peanuts can provide a lot of health benefits due to their high monounsaturated fat content, especially if they are used to replace other food in the diet.

Eating peanuts has been linked to a decreased risk of death from a variety of causes, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, according to some large observational studies. Other research has looked into the impact of peanut intake on blood lipid levels and heart health. A short research of 15 overweight or obese men found that eating a meal containing 3 ounces (85 grams) of peanuts resulted in a lower increase in blood triglyceride levels 2 and 4 hours after eating than a control meal.
