Feeling Tired and Fatigued? Eat Peanuts, They May Help You!

We live in a stressful world and sometimes you may feel tired and have a lack of energy. Peanuts may help you to fight the tiredness and fatigue of everyday life. How?

Peanuts are high in Vitamin B3, B6, pantothenic acid and magnesium[1][2], which as part of your diet, contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue[3], making you feel yourself again and giving you more energy.

Facts and Figures

Did you know that peanuts grow in tropical and subtropical climates? Also, peanuts are cultivated in over one hundred countries across all five continents[4]. They are widely cultivated for their high-quality edible oil as well as for their use for human consumption and fodder.

Nowadays, the major producing countries of peanuts are China, India, Nigeria, United States, Indonesia and Argentina. Peanuts, also known as groundnuts, are an annual leguminous herb native to South America. From there, they are thought to have been brought to Africa by missionaries and pioneers, and from Africa to America by slave traders[5].

Curiosities

Contrary to what many people believe, peanuts are not a tree nut but a legume. Peanuts contain properties of both beans/lentils and tree nuts[6]. And, did you know that Alan Shepard, commander of Apollo 14, took one peanut with him to the moon in 1971[7]?
