Peanuts, also known as "falling peanuts", have the reputation of "longevity fruit" in the folk, and they can be seen everywhere in life.
Peanuts have always been used as a nutrient-rich food, and all kinds of cooking are suitable, especially after cooking, especially when cooked soft, especially popular with the elderly.
But there is one type of person who cannot enjoy the benefits of peanuts, that is, people who are allergic to it. However, with the advancement of medicine, the problem seems to have found a solution.
Not long ago, an article published in Pediatrics said: The best way to treat peanut allergies is to contact peanuts. Some netizens joked: experts are telling us that "the most dangerous place is the safest place".
Studies have found that genes have a greater impact on peanut allergies. In addition, a lack of vitamin D also increases the risk of peanut allergies.
Earlier, a research team proposed the hypothesis of double allergen exposure, children through skin sensitization of peanut allergic reactions, especially when the skin barrier is damaged, peanut allergies are more likely to occur.
Then, if oral or intestinal exposure occurs early by eating peanuts, it can promote the occurrence of immune tolerance and reduce the risk of peanut allergy. Since then, more and more studies have shown that early intake of peanuts has a certain effect on reducing the risk of peanut allergies.
Some international guidelines also mention that infants at high risk of peanut allergy can eat peanut-containing products before 6 months to prevent peanut allergies.
Peanuts are also known as "longevity fruits", peanuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, plant protein, dietary fiber, polyphenols and other substances. However, some people are worried that the fat content of peanuts is too high, and eating too much will make them fat, making them overweight, thus adversely affecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
A study of 224 volunteers with metabolic syndrome or high risk showed that the reversal rate of metabolic syndrome was more than 2 times higher in the peanut intervention group that consumed 28 g of roasted peanuts per day, or white rice cake with energy such as roasted peanuts, compared with the control group that did not consume peanuts every day.
Moreover, after 12 weeks of study, the volunteers in the peanut intervention group were significantly less weight-weight than before the intervention. Therefore, the researchers concluded that eating peanuts in moderation will not increase weight, but can reduce the risk of hyperbolic syndrome, prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and be more conducive to heart health.
In addition, a research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that peanut red coat contains opc-b2 anti-liver cancer new mechanism, which can inhibit the proliferation, metabolism and growth of liver cancer cells, providing a potential treatment strategy for the clinical treatment of liver cancer.
Peanuts are rich in nutrients, containing more protein and unsaturated fatty acids than eggs, and some people even refer to peanuts as "plant meat". However, being too nutritious is also a problem. Since the fat content in peanuts is as high as 40%, if you eat too much, it is bound to increase the risk of obesity. Therefore, experts recommend eating about 30 peanuts a day.
The benefits of eating peanuts in moderation, in general, include the following aspects:
1. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Peanuts are rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, which can inhibit the secretion of triglycerides in the body, reduce the level of triglycerides, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis and stroke.
2. Improve the level of intelligence
Eating peanuts in moderation can make you smarter! The unsaturated fatty acids in peanuts are conducive to intellectual development, in addition, components such as lysine, glutamate and aspartic acid can also promote the development of brain cells.
3. It is conducive to blood sugar stabilization
Peanuts are rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, nutrients and red meat equivalent, however, eating too much red meat, is not conducive to blood sugar stability, therefore, you can use peanuts instead of a part of the red meat, both to increase satiety, but also to delay the absorption of carbohydrates, to prevent blood sugar suddenly rise.
4. Auxiliary reversal of metabolic syndrome
Studies have found that replacing staple foods with the right amount of peanuts can not only reduce weight, but also reverse metabolic syndrome and reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Moldy peanuts cannot be eaten
Peanuts are high in starch, and aflatoxin prefers to hide in starchy foods. Aspergillus aflatogenes is a class of carcinogens, 68 times more toxic than arsenic, a small amount of ingestion will be poisoned, a large amount of ingestion will be fatal.
In addition, aflatoxin has strong hepatotoxicity and is an important risk factor for the development of liver cancer. Therefore, moldy peanuts must not be eaten, and it is best not to eat foods with potential risks of aflatoxin poisoning, such as inferior peanut butter and soil-pressed peanut oil.
3 kinds of people should eat less peanuts
The first is patients with hyperlipoproteinemia, where peanuts are high in fat and calories and are not suitable for patients with hyperlipoproteinemia that requires control of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.
The second is gout patients, gout patients to avoid the intake of high purine food, just peanut purine content is very high, and peanut fat content is also high, more is not conducive to the excretion of uric acid.
The third is the removal of the gallbladder, after the removal of the gallbladder, the bile can not be stored, the ability to digest and absorb will decline, peanuts are not easy to digest, so eat less.
