Peanut is good for heart health

Moderate consumption of peanut, even if on a daily basis, has been linked with several health benefits – including weight loss and not to forget – heart health.

Heart disease is responsible for being one of the leading causes of death worldwide.

Studies, mainly the observational types, indicate that consuming peanuts (and other types of nuts) may protect against heart disease.

Peanuts contain a number of heart-healthy nutrients – magnesium, niacin, copper, oleic acid, and various antioxidants, such as resveratrol; hence may help prevent heart disease.
