3.Packed With Nutrients
It isn’t just the high protein, fiber, and healthy fats that are good for you. Nuts also have plenty of other nutrients like Vitamins E and B6, folic acid, niacin, magnesium, zinc, copper, and potassium. Just watch the ingredients on your brand of nut butter, peanut or otherwise. Some have added salt, sugar, preservatives, and unhealthy fats that could do more harm than good.
4.Heart Disease
Also called cardiovascular disease, it happens when your blood vessels harden (your doctor will call this atherosclerosis). This can weaken your heart and lead to heart failure. It can also cause stroke, heart attack, or irregular heartbeats (a condition called arrhythmia). People who eat more nuts, or butters made from them, are less likely to get it. About 28 grams, or 2 tablespoons, two more times a week, seems to be enough to help.
