Are you a huge Peanut Butter fan? Well, did you know that there are many health benefits of eating peanut butter? Now, you can eat a scoop straight from the jar without having to feel guilty!

Benefits of Peanut Butter

A study showed that eating peanuts every day can decrease the overall risk of death by up to 21% and reduce the occurrence of heart disease by 38%! Crazy right? (WebMD, 2020)

While they do contain healthy fats, too much can be a bad thing as well. However, if consumed in moderation, there are MANY benefits to gain from eating peanut butter! Some include:
1. Improved Heart Health
• Peanut butter contains oleic acid which helps to maintain good cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, which can lower the risk of heart disease.

 2. Reduced Risk of Diabetes
• Oleic acid has been shown to reduce the body’s insulin resistance which is a condition that raises blood sugar and leads to diabetes.

 3. Anticancer properties
• Peanuts contain manganese, vitamin E and B vitamins which are great sources of antioxidants. They act to prevent and repair cell damage in our bodies, reducing our risk of chronic diseases like cancer!

 4. Aid in weight management
• Can you believe it? It truly is a dream come true!
The healthy fats in peanut butter are called monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids which are associated with a lower risk of weight gain and obesity when consumed as a part of a healthy diet.
