You may not be surprised by this, but I was. A spoonful (size of spoon not mentioned) of peanut butter may actually ease stress and even improve memory. Before you call me crazy or out to fool you, this information comes from scientists in the Journal of Functional Foods. Said scientists conducted a study where participants consumed a handful of peanuts with skin, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or a placebo daily. After six months, the participants who ate peanuts or peanut butter had a notable improvement in memory and were 67% less likely to feel anxious. This is a scientific study so the scientists credit lignans found in peanuts. Lignas are fiber-rich compounds that reduce inflammation and feed healthy gut bacteria that make mood-enhancing hormones like serotonin. If you have trouble remembering where you put your keys, etc or find yourself feeling down, try some peanuts or peanut butter. file photo
