Some of the health benefits of peanuts include:
* Lowering the risk of heart disease. Peanuts are high in "good" or unsaturated fats that can help lower "bad" cholesterol levels in the body. Roasted peanuts also have folic acid, which helps lower the risk of heart disease.
* Reducing cancer risk. Resveratrol, an antioxidant first found in red grapes, is present in peanuts, and can help reduce cancer risk.* Helping prevent Alzheimer's. Peanuts have niacin, which aids brain health and blood flow. Peanuts help with brain's memory functions and help protect Alzheimer's disease.
* Aiding digestion. Fiber, which helps regulate the digestive system, is present in peanuts as well. Eating peanuts just a few times a week can prevent the formation of gallstnes and lower the risk of colon cancer.
