I Love Me Some Nuts!!!

Peanuts that is!!! I'm in love with trail mixes. I usually make my own. I throw in a couple of dried fruits and different varieties of nuts in a resealable bag and boom! Presenting allen0187 's own trail mix!!!! Anyway, for nuts, I always prefer almonds but they are way too expensive for my tastes. I decided to stick to the more affordable but not less nutritious cousin, the peanuts. Peanuts reduce the risk of heart disease because these are rich in monosaturated fats. They also help prevent cancer and gall stones. Heard about the old wives tale that peanuts make you smarter? Well, it sort of does help you appear smarter because it boosts memory. Also, because of the high fiber content of peanuts it helps eliminates toxins in the body and can aid in weight loss. I usually get a kilo or two of raw peanuts from the local supermarket and boil these for a healthy snack. How about you my fellow myLotters, are you nuts over peanuts?
