I am going to write a post about the benefits that have the peanut butter, although all paleo eaters would now disagree with me – totally! Paleo lifestyle sticks to meat, fat, nuts and vegetables, fruit; in meanwhile it’s avoiding everything with gluten, lactose and even the legumes. I can’t go really against them, because I was there once as well. But I soon changed it as I got into some “hormone” troubles after practicing it for couple of months.

But. Let me focus on peanut butter. I like it and I think it can be a good snack in the afternoon or before the exercising. But why, you would ask now.

 

Well, first of all it’s full of good nutrition! And these are:

–       Antioxidant vitamin E (strong immunity, for healthy skin)

–       Magnesium (bone building element)

–       Vitamin B6 (immunity boost)

–       Potassium (good care for muscles)

–       researches also show that eating peanuts can decrease the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health conditions

 

There are saying about helping with loosing weight – but in a way, that makes you feel full faster than other spreads (for example, you will eat less bread slices with peanut butter than with Nutella).

 

And last but not least – they contain good fats; heart healthy monounsaturated fat.

 

But careful! To get all these benefits, it’s very important that you buy the right one. The real peanut butter is the one that contains nothing but the raw peanuts (if possible organic) and a pinch of salt. That’s it! Peanuts contain fat, so there is not necessary at all, to be added oils like palm oil, rapeseed oil, etc. and for sure no sugar – at all!

And we are back to, how to solve the problem “reading labels takes way too much time” thing – there is no better peanut butter than your own, homemade peanut butter.
