"Peanut Butter Bliss"

Sure there is oil and fat but Peanut Butter is very good for most people giving both nutritional and health benefits!

What are some of the possible benefits of Peanut Butter?
Help with cholesterol
Decrease Inflamation
Assist body in using insulin
Lower heart disease risk

There are many ways to incorporate peanuts, nuts in general, and peanut butter into a daily or weekly diet. Anything from the old fashioned PBJ sandiwch to eating a spoonful straight, eating with crackers, or even better using another healthy treat such as celery.

Of course if you have allergies or those you are in close quarters with do then its best to avoid this healthy treat altogether.

Also, when you get peanut butter take note of the labels and possible additions that have been made. The closer the peanut butter is to the original nut the better it is for you!
