The current pace of life is relatively fast, and people spend most of their energy and time on work. Over time, this has led to many health problems. Therefore, we now advocate a “slow life,” where we enjoy life and work hard while also taking care of our physical health. In our daily lives, we can not only strengthen our bodies through exercise but also maintain our health through dietary therapy, both of which are methods of wellness.
Among them, nuts are excellent health foods. They can not only satisfy cravings but also help us replenish nutrients. However, although there are many types of nuts, “peanuts” offer the most benefits for health. Consistently consuming them for two weeks can lead to these three benefits.
1. Enhance brain function
For adolescents who are in their developmental stage, it is essential to nourish the brain, as they often need to use their minds. For middle-aged and elderly individuals, brain function gradually declines; therefore, to prevent conditions like dementia, attention should also be paid to brain nutrition. The trace elements found in peanuts can help with brain development, and regular consumption can enhance memory function.
2. Calcium supplementation
No matter what age group we are in, calcium supplementation is essential. A deficiency of calcium can lead to bone diseases, affecting our daily lives, which is particularly important for those over fifty. Regularly eating peanuts during leisure time can help replenish the calcium lacking in bones, preventing its loss. Additionally, the nutrients in peanuts are conducive to absorption by the body, making them very suitable for frequent consumption.
3. Protect the digestive system
We all know that an unhealthy stomach not only affects our meals but also impacts our sleep. However, many people today have unhealthy eating habits, with some eating irregularly or even alternating between hunger and fullness.
As a result, many people suffer from stomach problems, and for those individuals, eating peanuts can help regulate the condition. The nutrients in peanuts can blend well with stomach acid, thereby reducing stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract, protecting the gastric mucosa, and preventing ailments such as gastric ulcers.
