Do you need to peel peanuts? Let's talk about it below. Can eating peanuts remove waste and soften blood vessels? In fact, this is about the role of peanuts in regulating blood lipids. Peanuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, choline and phospholipids, which can lower the level of low-density lipoprotein in the blood, emulsify cholesterol, and inhibit the deposition of cholesterol on the blood vessel walls, thereby maintaining the elasticity of the blood vessel walls and protecting blood vessel health.

Who is not suitable Eat more peanuts? Although peanuts are good for cardiovascular health, not everyone is suitable for eating peanuts. The following types of people need to pay attention: Patients with high uric acid and gout Peanuts have a high purine content, with 100 grams of peanuts containing about 96.3 mg of purine. In addition, a high-fat diet can also reduce the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, for patients with hyperuricemia and gout with abnormal purine metabolism, excessive intake of peanuts will increase the risk of gout attacks. Chronic kidney disease patients The protein in peanuts is the second most important nutrient after fat, with a content of about 24%-36%. Chronic kidney disease patients with abnormal protein metabolism should not eat too much peanuts. Patients with hepatobiliary disease The fat in peanuts needs to be digested and absorbed by bile, and then released into the blood by the liver after emulsification. For patients with chronic hepatobiliary diseases and those who have undergone cholecystectomy who have fat absorption problems, the fat in peanuts is difficult to digest and absorb, and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea. People with obesity and dyslipidemia Peanuts are rich in fat and high in calories. Eating too much peanuts will lead to excess energy intake and further increase blood lipid levels. Therefore, people with obesity and dyslipidemia should also consume it in moderation. Copyright image, no permission to reprint Should peanuts be eaten with the skin? Many people choose to peel off the peanut skin when eating peanuts.

Therefore, it is recommended to eat peanuts with the skin so that you can get more nutrition. Are peanuts soaked in vinegar more nutritious? Compared with ordinary peanuts, peanuts soaked in vinegar do not have any more unique nutrients, only a change in taste. Vinegar can eliminate some of the greasiness caused by the high fat content of peanuts , and can also enhance appetite and have an appetizing effect. In summary Peanuts have the effect of regulating blood lipids Eating peanuts may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease If you want to get more nutrition from peanuts It is recommended to eat with skin But not everyone is suitable for eating more peanuts Some special groups need attention Eat less or no food Author: Zhang Zheng, PhD in Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Soochow University The cover image and the images in this article are from the copyright library Reproduction of image content is not authorized |
