A handful of peanuts twice a day before meals can contribute to weight loss and lower blood pressure, new research from the University of South Australia (UniSA) has found.
In collaboration with Texas Tech University, the UniSA study assessed two groups of Australian adults at moderate to high risk of type 2 diabetes, testing the effect of consuming 70 grams of lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts daily on top of a weight loss diet, as opposed to a traditional low-fat weight loss diet.
