What are the benefits of Peanut Butter in a healthy routine?
Very present in athletes' diets, peanut butter is a substance made only from peanuts, which are roasted and ground into a paste, which can be plain or flavored. Power1One pastes have no added sugars or gluten. It has a high concentration of proteins and fats and can be consumed plain, on bread, crackers, toast, fruit, or in preparations.

Rich in good fats, peanut butter is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega 3, which has important anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protective power. It is also a source of vegetable protein and essential amino acids, which are fundamental for muscle building and recovery, and mineral salts such as potassium, which helps prevent cramps, and magnesium, in addition to vitamin E, phytosterols, and B vitamins. Thus, peanut butter:

Stimulates muscle contractions, contributing to hypertrophy, i.e., lean mass gain;
Prevents cramps;
Reduces the risk of injuries and muscle fatigue;
Protects the brain against Alzheimer's disease and memory impairment due to its niacin concentration (approximately 10 mg per 100 g);
Strengthens immunity;
Improves disposition and concentration;
Increases satiety;
Helps maintain good cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, assisting in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases;
It is a food rich in folic acid, one of the essential vitamins for our body, as it contributes to cell renewal. The daily intake of 30 g of peanuts provides 10% of the recommended daily intake of this vitamin - the nutritionist also adds, pointing out benefits for two specific groups:
For diabetics, peanut butter helps control blood sugar, with up to two tablespoons per day recommended, with caloric control in the rest of the diet;
For vegetarians and vegans, peanuts are also welcome, as proteins from foods such as rice, pasta, or potatoes are incomplete because they do not provide all essential amino acids, making a varied diet important. Thus, by consuming this food, there is an improvement in the protein quality of the diet.
