    Side effects of eating too many at a time

    Glory LawaniBy Glory LawaniDecember 14, 2021No Comments6 Mins Read

    Health, according to the World Health Organization, is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”.[1] A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep,[2] and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

    With their nutrient value and crunchy taste, people tend to overdo snacking on peanuts. But excess consumption may end up doing more harm than good.

    It’s winter and also a time to munch on nature’s crunchiest snack, peanuts. Peanuts are the most satisfying substitute for processed snacks and chips. These mighty pockets of nutrients can stave off between-meal hunger pangs or be the best go-to munchies while you’re binge-watching your favourite show.

    In general, peanuts or ‘moongfali’ as they are popularly known in India, are loaded with healthy fats and contain plenty of poly and monounsaturated fats. Peanuts are considered one of the highest sources of omega 6 fats that can help against a number of inflammatory diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. With their boastful nutrient value and lip-smacking taste, people tend to overdo it sometimes.

    Arti Johari, a senior nutritionist, spoke to HealthShots about the side effects of overconsuming peanuts.

    “Peanuts are not only rich in good fats, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids but they are an excellent source of protein and magnesium. While peanuts may be undoubtedly great for your health, they tend to pose a few threats if over-consumed,” Johari said.

    High-calorie content in peanuts, for example, can be a disadvantage when it comes to weight watchers. Even high amounts of unsaturated fats can lead to problems like stroke, heart attack, digestive troubles, clogged arteries and other health complications.

    “People tend to overeat peanuts during the winter season but this practice must be replaced with mindful eating habits. Consuming a handful of peanuts is the recommended quantity that I’d suggest,” Johari added.

    Too much consumption of peanuts may damage your health. To start with, here are a few effects:

    1. You may gain weight

    Since peanuts are a rich source of fat, their overconsumption may lead to unwanted weight gain. Research has proven that a handful of peanuts has 170 calories. According to the dietary guidelines, our body needs a daily intake of 1600 to 2400 calories. When snacking on peanuts, it’s easy to surpass the daily intake and it may lead to putting on some kilos.

    2. Inhibit mineral absorption

    Despite their contribution to your overall health, peanuts may block mineral absorption in your body. Phytic acid, a component in peanuts, is responsible for inhibiting the absorption of iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. Over time, Phytates can contribute to mineral deficiencies, irritation in the intestinal tract, and allergies.

    3. May cause high blood pressure

    While peanuts are naturally low in sodium, eating salted peanuts at a bar or a peanut namkeen at home may alleviate blood pressure. Too much sodium may pull water and fluids into your bloodstream, thus, causing high blood pressure. So, opt for low sodium or unsalted peanuts before munching on them.

    4. May increase inflammation

    Considering peanuts contain a high amount of omega-6 but not omega-3, peanuts may weigh your omega-3 to 6 ratios towards omega-6. An imbalance in these essential unsaturated fatty acids may cause inflammation in your body.

    5. Deadly for nut-allergic people

    As common as peanut allergies are, the number of allergic people who encounter peanuts in their various forms is huge. A reaction to peanuts is common due to its extracts used in food processing and cross-contamination of food exposed to peanuts during its preparation. Some symptoms of peanut allergy are skin itching, shortness of breath, and diarrhea.

    The last words

    As they say too much of anything is harmful, mindful consumption of peanuts is what you need to focus on. To eat peanuts in moderation is the key to reap benefits from this super snack which is low in carbs and high in protein. And surprisingly, peanuts have more protein when compared to other expensive nuts!
