PEANUTS
Everything seemed to have quietened down.
My turn to make my 2 cents worth known then.
Had quite an enriching week.
Just learned that peanut = S$600 000
WHOA...
S$600 000... Nuts really!!!
No puns intended.
Well... Come to think of it, it might be worth the price, i guess.
Afterall, from what i've heard, peanuts have health-benefiting properties.
Something about peanuts having HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is actually the good cholesterol which everyone so hanker after.
See... Proves that i didn't sleep during my classes.
In case you've got it wrong... No, my lectures don't talk on food.
Duh.
Having carried out some research to ensure that my information are correct, peanuts actually improve cardiovascular health, provide essential nutrients, the risk of Type II diabetes, cancer, heart disease, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and even depression.
Peanuts contain a higher amount of proteins compared to other legumen or nuts, and protein plays a crucial role in wound healing and skin regeneration. Ideal for those who have a real problem with balance.
One ounce (i.e. around a handful) of peanuts contains 2g of fibers, which aids in the gastrointestinal bowel movement. Great for those constipation!
The same amount of peanuts also provide about 15% of the daily requirement of Vit. E, and this vitamin has been proven to act as an antioxidant (thus reducing the risk of cancer).
In addition, peanuts are an important source for minerals (e.g. magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc), Vit B (e.g. folate), and phytochemicals.
Phytochemicals are natural substances found in plants and provides a wide range of health benefits such as decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease.
About 84% of fats in peanuts is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. And unsaturated fats helps lower LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein), which is the "bad" cholesterol, without affecting HDL-C levels in the blood.
LDL-C are the main culprits that clog up your arteries and bestow upon you the well-known stroke and heart attack.
AND!!! They're cholesterol FREE!!!

On second thoughts, S$600 000 for a clean bill of health.
It's worth it definitely.
Especially for someone who has failed her NAPFA test only recently.
The only negative facts that I know about peanuts of date are that they're high in calories (due to the high fats content) and the renowned deadly peanut allergy.
*******************************************
The topic of peanuts haul back some sweet memories.
My dad loves peanuts, so do I. Although I perfer them in the cream state nowadays.
We would spread some newspaper on the floor, then proceed to position ourselves around it.
We talked, we bonded - amidst the crackling of peanut shell.
Those were the days.
*******************************************
I dare not harbour much hope of relishing those old days again, since peanuts are now so pricey.
Afterall, the last I heard, S$600 000 is peanuts.
So anyone who happens to know me personally or otherwise, if you would only be so kind, I would be truely overjoyed to receive a peanut from you.
Peanut shell will also do. I am hardly fussy.
=)
Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on, hold onHold on
