The healthy fats in peanut butter

Peanut butter is a very good source of healthy and beneficial fats for the body. It is mainly unsaturated fats. These types of fats help to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol and boost the levels of good cholesterol.

They help to reduce heart-related problems and therefore, a high number of diseases associated with cardiovascular health.

Unsaturated fats, as opposed to saturated fats, tend to be used as a source of energy extraction, rather than being stored.

Vitamin E: 

Potentiates the immune system and fights free radicals and reduces the risk of disease by protecting cells, as well as those related to the heart. It also aids in the regeneration and maintenance of the skin.

Among its functions in the body, we can highlight its anti-inflammatory properties, and that it acts as one of the most important antioxidant active ingredients in the body. 

Tiamine or B1

The main function is to intervene in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

It also plays a crucial role in the nervous system, as it is involved in the synthesis of acetylcholine and its derivative has neurotransmitter properties. It is essential for nerve impulses. It is involved in mitochondrial functions and is essential in cellular energy production processes.

A deficiency of this vitamin produces a disease called beri-beri, which is a picture of asthenia, gastrointestinal disorders and muscle weakness.

Riboflavin or B2

It plays an active role in cellular energy metabolism. It plays an important role in cell growth and development. It also helps in the maintenance of some tissues, such as those of the nervous system, eyes and skin.

Niacin or B3

It carries out numerous functions: metabolic reactions, including in glycosylation; Krebs cycle, respiratory chain, pentose phosphate pathway, amino acid deamination, ethanol metabolism, etc. In general, it helps in the production of energy for our body.

The consumption of this vitamin is used to reduce high cholesterol and other fat values, while it is also used to treat low levels of a specific type of cholesterol.

Pantothenic acid or B5

Its most notable function is to aid the transformation of the food we eat into energy. It aids in the breakdown of fats, the macronutrient most present in peanut butter.

Vitamin B6

It is a basic vitamin for the proper functioning of enzymes, and also influences brain development during pregnancy and infancy, as well as the immune system.

It plays a role in protein metabolism and red blood cell production. It also helps in the production of antibodies and boosts the immune system. It is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as melatonin and serotonin.

B9

Collaborates with the good growth of tissues, it is necessary for the production of red blood cells and for the synthesis of DNA. It is of great importance in children during childhood and especially for pregnant women.

Choline

Choline ensures that the B vitamins are used properly. It is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and in the movement of fats within the body. It optimises the functioning of nerve signals and impulses and may help in the maintenance and proper functioning of memory.

It is also involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the movement of fats within the body.

It is also a source of many minerals:

Minerals:

Zinc: 

It is a precursor of testosterone. It is involved in carrying out a large number of chemical reactions in the body and is a basic mineral for protein synthesis. It also helps regulate the production of immune system cells.

Iron:

An adequate iron intake is essential to prevent anaemia. It is also essential for the correct synthesis of haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body to the muscles and brain.

Magnesium: 

It has great relaxing properties at a muscular level and helps to improve rest at night. It also participates in the maintenance and correct functioning of the heart rhythm, as well as helping to regulate blood pressure. It is involved in numerous functions within the body.

Potassium:

This mineral is noted for its ability to prevent muscle cramps, as well as for the correct muscle contraction. For proper cardiac muscle contraction, it helps to eliminate fluid retention as it acts as a natural diuretic.

Potassium is a mineral that is inversely related to sodium, so when we ingest potassium, it lowers sodium.
Phosphorus: 

This mineral is necessary for the correct synthesis of bone. It is also involved in the synthesis of proteins for the growth, maintenance and repair of cells and tissues.

Copper:

Copper contributes, like iron, to the proper formation and production of red blood cells. It also helps in the maintenance of blood vessels, nerves, the immune system and bones.
