Iron Tree's "The Peanut" is surely unforgettable to everyone. Of course, peanuts are not only of high quality but also truly delicious. However, it must be admitted that peanuts are incompatible with some people and can be a death sentence for them. This is something everyone must guard against! Below, the editor will introduce 6 categories of people who should avoid peanuts.
Gout Patients
Gout is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorders, and patients all have hyperuricemia. Since a high-fat diet reduces uric acid excretion and aggravates the condition, peanuts should be avoided during an acute gout attack, and only a moderate amount can be consumed during the remission period.
Patients Who Have Had Their Gallbladder Removed
Bile is important for the digestion and absorption of fat. After a meal, the gallbladder contracts, releasing bile into the duodenum to aid digestion and absorption. High-protein and high-fat foods strongly stimulate the gallbladder, causing a large amount of bile to be secreted. After the gallbladder is removed, bile cannot be stored, which will inevitably affect the digestion of fat in oil crops like peanuts.
Patients with Stomach Ulcers, Chronic Gastritis, and Chronic Enteritis
Patients with these conditions often have symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, or indigestion. Their diet should consist of small, frequent meals that are light and low in oil. Peanuts are a type of nut with excessively high protein and fat content, making them difficult to digest and absorb. Such patients should avoid them.
People Who Want to Lose Weight
Peanuts are very high in calories and fat. Eating two liang (100g) of roasted peanuts introduces 581 kilocalories of energy, equivalent to eating five and a half liang (275g) of steamed buns. Therefore, people who want to lose weight should stay away from peanuts.
Diabetic Patients
Diabetics need to control their total daily energy intake, so the daily cooking oil used should not exceed three tablespoons (30g). However, just 18 peanuts are equivalent to one tablespoon of oil (10g) and can produce 90 kilocalories of energy.
Patients with Hyperlipoproteinemia
An improper diet is a major cause of hyperlipoproteinemia, so the principle of dietary treatment is to limit calories and reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. Peanuts are a high-fat, high-calorie food, and eating more can only worsen the condition, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, which can be life-threatening.
