Brazilian Peanuts

Brazilian peanuts 

Brazilian peanuts are a type of nut that I added to my diet very recently following a recommendation from my nutritionist. They are of course quite caloric, so he suggested I eat 2-3 fruits 3 times a week as a tithe or afternoon snack, but it is also a unique superfood.They looked very strange to me (like big, weird almonds) and very normal in taste and I was under the impression that I had never heard them before. So I decided to make a search for their nutritional value and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised.Take a look at this Brazilian treasure and its benefits for your body

1. They help to digest

The fiber content of Brazil nuts makes them ideal for regulating your digestive system. Fiber facilitates peristaltic movement in the gastrointestinal tract, moving food through the digestive system and extracting as many nutrients as possible.

2. Cure acne

The high zinc content of Brazilian peanuts has been shown to protect against acne or reduce its appearance. The rich vitamin and antioxidant content of its oil, is the main cause of this protective property.

3. You lose weight

The nutrients contained in this snack, such as fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates, make it quite filling, making it ideal to stop your hunger or cravings. Of course, the 30gr. Peanuts contain about 200 calories, so it is best not to eat them in handfuls. Consuming them in moderation can really boost your weight loss efforts.

4. They improve the function of hormones

Selenium, in Brazilian peanuts, plays an important role in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, from where some of the most important hormones in the body are produced, distributed and regulated. Also, the high concentration of selenium ensures an enhanced metabolism.

5. Strengthens your immune system

The high concentration of nutrients, antioxidants and organic compounds, make this nut a powerful natural remedy against viruses and diseases of the era.
