Be Smarter with Peanuts: Myth?!?

I still remember my math teacher in high school. He keeps on telling us to eat peanuts because they can make us smarter at solving math problems. As an industrious student, I followed his advice and ate some peanuts weekly. I stopped when one of my classmates had a lot of zits on his face. Seriously, I read some articles that said it does improve the cognitive function of our brains. Thus, it will make our brain smarter when we consume some peanuts. I bought some today. It would be our snacks later, with the family members in the house. Do you like boiled peanuts for snack?

I don’t really eat peanuts any more. See as my youngest child is allergic to most all nuts we hardly have them around to eat them. Some times I want a PB&J or some apple is with chocolate peanut butter.

If I were in your shoe, I would not want to have some if one of my family members is allergic to nuts. Speaking of peanut butter, I do like having some with my bread.

What did him having zits have to do with you stopping eating peanuts? I’m just confused hopefully it doesn’t sound rude.

@Shavkat oh okay I see. That’s too bad all those years you didn’t eat them because of what he said

It was because he claimed that eating peanuts triggered of having so many zits. At a young age, I do not want to be in his situation. Thus, it was a myth.

When I was in Tajikistan, I had seen different kinds of nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, etc. I tasted them all because they are not available in my country.

I can eat peanuts but usually eat either cashews or pecans.

We do have cashews here, but they are so pricey. I think we only have commercialized pecans.

I am sorry to hear that. I am sure you need to ask the waiters if the foods to be served have some, right?

@Shavkat I never order food with sauces when I go out at a restaurant. I do not trust what they tell you.

I eat various roasted nuts daily as a snack. They are quite nutritious. But, I really never cared much for peanuts, nor was I good at math. Some people are so allergic to peanuts that they could die if they eat them.

I am like you that there is a skeptical thought at first. Let me share this link to support my claim.

I do love boiled peanuts since I was a child. If they are not available, I usually boil jackfruit's seeds and tasted like peanuts.

I think it can make us smarter for enhancing cognitive functions of our brains.

Hi! Of course, many people enjoy peanuts as a snack. It's interesting to hear about the connection between peanuts and improved cognitive function. I have also heard about such a link, and perhaps it's worth exploring other foods that may enhance our memory and focus.

It is my pleasure to share my thoughts about it. I do think that peanuts can be used for certain local dishes in some Asian countries. I am sure you will love to try them.
