March is an AWESOME month! Why you ask?

It’s NATIONAL PEANUT MONTH!!

It's #NationalPeanutMonth. Eat some #peanuts today! #Health #benefits and #recipes here:

 

Take the time this month to celebrate and have a peanut-y snack mix or make peanut butter cookies. Or even be adventurous and try a Thai dish that has peanut sauce. Peanuts are fantastic as a snack, in a recipe and of course for their nutritional value. We’ve gathered easy recipes that would work well for breakfast.

Happy #NationalPeanutMonth and #NationalNutritionMonth! Why we say #Peanuts Are for Everyone, with 25 #healthy #breakfast #recipes. bit.ly/2Ha5vKw #NNM #RDchat #FoodAllergy Click To Tweet

Who Should Eat Peanuts? Everyone!

Peanuts have compounds such as phenolic acids, resveratrol, phytosterols, and flavonoids that block the absorption of cholesterol.  Research shows that daily peanut intake reduces total serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people who have high levels.

  • For those who want to eat MORE PLANT PROTEIN: peanuts carry additional components that have positive health benefits like fiber and unique bioactives. They are high in arginine, an amino acid, which is one of the building blocks of protein. This amino acid is a precursor to nitric oxide, a compound that expands your blood vessels. Nitric Oxide is thought to help decrease blood pressure.
  • Peanuts for MAINTAINING WEIGHT: Several studies have shown that eating peanuts (and other nuts) frequently (>2 x week) have a lower risk of obesity and are less likely to gain weight. Eating nuts or peanut butter about 5 times a week decreased risk of type 2 diabetes in several studies.
  • Peanuts for PREGNANT WOMEN: Peanuts have protein, which helps in proper growth and development of the fetus. The iron in peanuts helps prevent anemia.  Many women get pregnancy brain, when you tend to forget things. ( Yes–it happened to me!) But there’s good news because peanuts have vitamin B3, which boosts memory power and brain functioning. Peanuts also contain folic acid and other hard-to-get minerals that can really boost a mom’s nutrition.
  • Peanuts for CHILDREN: nutrient dense peanuts have amino acids, vitamins and minerals to help in their growth and development.

What About Allergies?

  • The new trend in allergy prevention is to introduce allergens VERY EARLY. A recent study found that non-allergic moms-to-be who ate peanuts or tree nuts five times a week were less likely to have a baby with a nut allergy. The new thinking is that introducing foods early might help an infant build a tolerance to them, lowering the risk of allergies.
  • BABIES can also benefit from peanuts. New guidelines say babies at high risk of developing a peanut allergy should be given food containing ground peanuts or peanut butter around 6 months of age, a departure from the idea that they should be kept away from peanuts until they are 3 years old. Infants who regularly consumed peanut-containing foods early in life had reduced the risk of developing an allergy by 81 percent.
  • Caution: nuts and nut butters can be a choking hazard for children and babies. Thin peanut butter with applesauce or banana to make it easier to eat and avoid giving whole nuts to children younger than 4, says the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Hi everyone!  My name is Melissa Davila and I am currently a Keiser University dietetic intern.  I first became interested in nutrition in high school because I tried every diet known to man.  Through my teens I always struggled with my weight and had a poor self-image.  However, once I got to college, I was clueless as to what I wanted to do and when I found dietetics in the course catalog, I knew that was what I was meant to do.  I look forward to helping people lead a healthy life and becoming a dietitian.
