The best part is that a large part of this fat content is made up of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are good for your heart. Both of these fats are known to lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol, which clogs and blocks your arteries; increasing your risk of heart disease<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monounsaturated fatty acids also help <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pistachios-and-belly-fat\/\">maintain your high-density lipoprotein<\/a> (HDL) cholesterol levels, which is actually good for your heart. Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 and omega-6 fats, which (combined) help reduce triglycerides, reduce the risk of developing an irregular heartbeat, lower your blood pressure, and slow the buildup of plaque that can harden and clog your arteries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_In_Antioxidants\"><\/span><b>High In Antioxidants<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals, these are compounds that can cause harm if their levels become too high in your body.

What&#8217;s even more interesting is that research shows that the skins of these nuts have even more <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pine-nuts-calories-benefits-side-effects\/\">antioxidants<\/a>, and eating peanuts (especially roasted ones) may increase the concentration of the antioxidants in this snack.

Remember that one serving (28 g) of these nuts adds over 150 calories to your daily calorie intake, and eating too many servings will quickly take over your recommended calorie intake for the day. To avoid this, consider tracking your daily calorie intake. By doing this, it lets you make an allowance for a serving (or more) of peanuts without going over your daily recommended food energy intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Lead_To_Aflatoxin_Poisoning\"><\/span><b>May Lead To Aflatoxin Poisoning<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is probably one of the lesser-known side effects of peanuts and peanut products consumption. According to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Cancer Institute, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aflatoxins are a family of toxins found on agricultural crops, such as maize (corn), peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts.

They are also known to suppress the immune system that leaves you more vulnerable to infection. Aflatoxins can also be fatal to humans; they are potent carcinogens that affect your liver and kidneys the most. They have been known to cause liver damage and liver cancer &#8211; all fatal problems (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/foodsafety\/FSDigest_Aflatoxins_EN.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, be aware of where your nuts are grown and research the agricultural practices in the area.
