Those Who Snack On Peanuts Eat Less During The Day

People who regularly eat peanuts are in for a treat: A study in the Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolismrevealed that those who snack on peanuts – in particular, women – significantly cut back on their total snack consumption. In particular, researchers from the Universityof Adelaide, University of South Australia, and The University of Newcastle arrived at this result after looking at how peanuts, a popular and filling snack item, can affect snacking habits and energy intake in people under a nut-free diet.

For the study, researchers involved 61 healthy participants; the group had a mean age of 65 and an average body mass index (BMI) of 31 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) – which is considered obese. They were then assigned a diet that either had peanuts or no nuts. Those who ate peanuts were stratified further: Men were to consume 84 grams of peanuts per day, and women were to eat 56 grams a day. The trial, which ran for 12 weeks, also evaluated the participants’ food diaries to understand their total energy consumption and dietary patterns. Researchers also computed for the frequency and number of snacks as well.

Based on the results, people tend to eat peanuts as a snack, rather than a meal. Women, in particular, ate a larger amount of peanuts in the afternoon, but they reduced their total snack consumption for the day. Both men and women in the group had significantly increased the number of times that they snacked.

Of the findings, the researchers concluded: “Addition of peanuts to the diet increased snacking frequency and overall energy intake with some gender differences in snacking habits and snacking substitutions. Education on substitution strategies is important when recommending nut consumption.”

Many incredible things occurred before it became a staple in the modern kitchen. In this post, I'll discuss the various events that led to the aluminum foil revolution, and highlight the continued importance of this seemingly mundane material in our lives.

Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...

What's New and Beneficial About Cabbage

Did you know that cabbage was one of two vegetable types (the other type was root vegetables) found to be a mainstay for prevention of type 2 diabetes in a recent study of over 57,000 adults in the country of Denmark? In this very large-scale study, adults who closely followed the Healthy Nordik Food Index were found to have the lowest incidence of type 2 diabetes. Importantly, this key health benefit was linked to six food intake categories: (1) fish, (2) rye bread, (3) oatmeal, (4) apples and pears, (5) root vegetables, and (6) cabbage! Researchers have now identified nearly 20 different flavonoids and 15 different phenols in cabbage, all of which have demonstrated antioxidant activity. This impressive list of antioxidant phytonutrients in cabbage is one key reason why an increasing number of studies link cabbage intake to decreased risk of several cardiovascular diseases. You can read more about these individual antioxidants in our Health Benefits section. In terms of price per...
