Super food “peanuts or groundnuts” are filled with treasures of health boosting nutrients and can actually help you in losing weight!!

How many of you like to munch on peanuts for snack??

Well, here are five reasons to include groundnuts in your diet-

  1. Reduces body fats- as it contains healthy mono & polyunsaturated fats
  2. Promotes heart health - as it contains polyphenols and antioxidants
  3. Reduces gall stone formation
  4. High on varied B-complex vitamins like thiamine, folic acid and minerals
  5. High on Vitamin E which improves skin health

Since peanuts are high on fats it’s important you have just a handful of them every day. You can have peanuts either roasted, boiled or in form of roasted powder over salads or subzis.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
