BENEFITS OF GROUNDNUTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW.
Groundnuts are food or should I say snack we enjoy most of the time. It’s either we are accompanying roasted plantain with groundnut, chewing it for the fun of it or oh! how can I forget? Our delicious gari soakings. Due to something we have heard about groundnuts, we have reduced our love for groundnuts because we’ve heard that, groundnuts increase the amount of pimples on our faces. One thing most people do not appreciate on their faces is pimples. So if consumption of groundnuts will increase the pimples on my face, then drop the consumption that is what we all are doing and trying our very best to reduce the intake or even at all stop consuming groundnuts.
Where are my groundnut lovers who have closed their ears in order not to hear the negative effect of groundnuts? Well, as everything has its pros and cons, I am here to tell you that, groundnuts have a variety of advantages which outweigh the disadvantages. Let’s get started.
REPAIRS THE BODY TISSUES.
As we all have heard, groundnut belongs to the leguminous family and every member of this family is a source of protein that helps to heal and build the body tissues. Did you know that, of all the leguminous family, groundnut has the highest amount of protein? Oh yes you read right. Groundnut, like other leguminous crops, is a very good source of protein that helps heal and build body tissues. It contains a good amount of phosphorus that certain tissues and cells need to make proteins essential for the maintenance of body functions, development and repair of the human body.
PROMOTES THE WELLBEING OF THE HEART
Researchers argue that people who regularly eat groundnuts are much less likely to suffer from a heart attack or disease. Bad cholesterol can result from the development of plaques on the blood vessels and groundnuts can prevent this. Groundnuts can also reduce inflammation from heart illness.
Did you also know that groundnuts help strengthen the growth of hair?
The amino acid and protein found in groundnuts is very essential for hair growth.
So you see, consuming groundnut is not bad after all. But as the saying goes, too much of everything is bad so let’s take note and consume in moderation.
Always remember the priceless gift you can give to your family and the world is a healthy you.
