Peanuts and peanut butter are whole foods that pack a lot of nutrition into just one serving. In the legume or dried bean family, peanuts are a terrific protein source. But the story gets better and better when you consider the significant amounts of the following nutrients found in a single ounce of peanuts.

Research studies on large groups of people have found that people who often eat peanuts and nuts have a much lower risk of heart disease. Also, scientists are finding that diets high in monounsaturated fats, the type found in peanuts, may also protect against heart disease.

Peanuts and peanut butter are whole foods that contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, ample protein and beneficial unsaturated fats. Since they are a plant food, they naturally contain no cholesterol.

Protein
Peanuts and peanut butter contain high-quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar foods, peanuts have more protein than any other legume or nut. This is especially important for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.

Unsaturated Fats
Peanuts and peanut butter contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.

Fiber
One ounce or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 big grams of fiber. This is 8% of the fiber you need each day!

Vitamin E
One ounce of peanuts provided 25% of your daily need for vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to act as an antioxidant, which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Minerals
Peanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these "hard-to-find" minerals such as copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.

B Vitamins
B vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects. They also reduce the amount of homocysteine in the blood that may be a risk for heart disease. Peanuts are a good source of folate, a key B vitamin.

Phytochemicals
Phytochemicals are natural substances in plants which may provide a wide range of health benefits such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanuts contain resveratrol, which is one of the many phytochemicals found in plant foods.

Flaxseed is one-third oil, the remainder consisting of fiber, protein and mucilage. Flax oil is one of the greatest sources of essential fatty acids. The protein in flaxseeds is easily digested and contains all the amino acids needed for building a strong body. The fiber in flax acts as a broom, sweeping the colon of toxic material, metabolic waste and dried mucus. Flax fiber is an excellent food for friendly bacteria in the intestine, which keeps disease-causing organisms in check.

Twelve percent of flaxseed is mucilage, which makes it a gentle, non-irritating, natural laxative. Flax mucilage is perfect for those who have a sensitive stomach, acting as a buffer for excess stomach acids, soothing ulcers or irritable bowel disorders.

Flaxseed contains lignans that have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties. Flaxseeds have the richest source of lignans, 100 times more than the next best source, wheat bran. The majority of lignans is found in the seed, giving it an advantage over flax oil. Flaxseed also contains lecithin, which emulsifies fat and cholesterol. These little seeds improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation and enhance cardiovascular health.

With all the media attention on cholesterol, consumers often lose sight of the fact that eggs are a nutrient rich, affordable contributor to a healthy diet. Not only do eggs contain the highest quality source of protein available but they also contain almost every essential vitamin and mineral needed by humans. In fact, egg protein is of such high quality that it is used as the standard by which other proteins are compared. Eggs have a biological value (efficacy with which protein is used for growth) of 93.7%. Comparable values are 84.5% for milk, 76% for fish, and 74.3% for beef. Eggs really are the best protein money can buy, and all of those other valuable vitamins and minerals too. One of the major protein ingredients in PowerButter is egg white, which contains no cholesterol.

Like all fats, Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) provide energy. Their calorific value is similar to other fats and oils but, unlike saturated fats, they have important health roles. In fact, as their names suggest, they are essential and must be consumed regularly, as the body has limited storage for them.

Both of the important EFA families — Omega-6 and Omega-3 — are components of nerve cells and cellular membranes. They are converted by the body into eicosanoids, leukotrienes and prostaglandins all of which are needed on a second-by-second basis by most tissue activities in the body.

EFAs are involved in normal physiology, including:

• Regulating pressure in the eye, joints, and blood vessels, and mediating immune response
• Regulating bodily secretions and their viscosity
• Dilating or constricting blood vessels
• Regulating collateral circulation
• Directing endocrine hormones to their target cells
• Regulating smooth muscles and autonomic reflexes
• Being primary constituents of cell membranes
• Regulating the rate of cell division
• Maintaining the fluidity and rigidity of cellular membranes
• Regulating the inflow and outflow of substances to and from cells
• Transporting oxygen from red blood cells to the tissues
• Maintaining proper kidney function and fluid balance
• Keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream
• Preventing blood cells from clumping together (blood clots that can be a cause of heart attack and stroke)
• Mediating the release of inflammatory substances from cells that may trigger allergic conditions
• Regulating nerve transmission and communication
• Helping prevent long-term degenerative illness, which results from a diet deficient in either Omega-3 of Omega-6

However, because the end products (e.g. prostaglandin, leukotriene) of EFA metabolism differ slightly but significantly from Omega-6 to Omega-3, both EFAs must be present in balance for optimum health.
