Citando:
"The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, showed eating peanuts can keep the cells that line the arteries healthy - helping them stay more elastic.

The researchers showed when peanuts are eaten with a meal the typical build-up of triglycerides - like cholesterol a type of fat found in the bloodstream - is dampened.

Professor Kris-Etherton said: "After a meal, triglycerides increase and this typically decreases the dilation of the arteries, but the peanuts prevent that big increase in triglycerides after the meal.

"And that may be the mechanism behind this effect, because the triglycerides are not getting so high, which may explain why there is not a decrease in artery elasticity.""
