Eating peanuts can improve heart health - unsalted is best! Eating peanuts as part of a healthy diet can improve heart health according to a new study taken place at the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University which involved two groups of volunteers.
The first group were given a shake containing 3oz of ground peanuts, and the second group had the same shake but without the peanuts. The first group showed signs of improved heart health and vascular function compared to the second group who did not have the peanuts. The results of the heart health tests indicated a lower risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in the peanut group.

Those who eat peanuts more than twice a week have a lower risk of CHD. Heart health is a major complication for diabetes sufferers and according to studies it is thought that as many as 80% of diabetic sufferers will die from heart disease. Therefore it is important to find ways to look after the heart as over time if blood glucose levels are high, this can cause the arteries to narrow and become easier to clog up.
Other studies have shown that those who eat peanuts more than twice a week have a lower risk of coronary heart disease. Like most things eaten in moderation, peanuts are a healthy snack when eaten as part of a healthy diet. Remember to choose the unsalted versions though! http://www.mind-bodywellness.co.uk/nutrition--diet.html
