Today, September 13th, is National Peanut Day. Celebrate by eating peanuts as a healthy snack.

Peanuts once took the rap as a not so healthy food, but recent research suggests that peanuts can reduce cardiovascular disease and lowers triglycerides (see post) in the body. Peanuts are high in protein and fiber, and are now believed to help curb hunger, and therefore help in diet control. So eat away!
