Healthy Eating

by pblovers

Peanut butter is a great source of protein and nutrients. It can help prevent disease and manage weight when enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. Packed full of healthy fats, protein and fiber, peanut butter has many beneficial nutrients that can improve daily performance and help you refuel after a long day or workout.

Peanut butter can be a great addition to a healthy diet. Here are some health facts about our favorite spread:

  • An ounce a day keeps extra pounds at-bay! Peanuts and peanut butter have been shown to keep you satisfied so that you naturally reduce calorie intake.
  • High in monounsaturated fat, peanut butter is shown to have a positive impact with the reduction of heart disease, gallstone diseases and a lower risk of diabetes and colon cancer.
  • In adults, peanut butter can help with the lowering of cholesterol.
  • Peanut butter’s many B-vitamins are important for cognition and memory, especially for seniors.
