Among sources of high-protein, high-fat nutrition, few rank as highly as peanut butter.
It is rich in proteins, fats, monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, B vitamins, folate, tryptophan, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
In moderation, individuals with high blood pressure may also consume peanut butter.
It is established through research that peanut butter is a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). MUFA reduces cholesterol, decreases blood pressure, and lowers blood lipids.
Peanut butter contains an amino acid known as tryptophan. Tryptophan could trigger serotonin and melatonin release. At the same time, it regulates internal body time, which eventually helps with sleeping at night.
As a nut-based food, a single peanut butter serving provides about 588 calories within a 100-gram serving. Overindulgence in this food can lead to obesity.
It is recommended that only 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (about 30 grams) should be consumed per day.
Enjoy it!
