Peanut Butter: Your Key to Wellness

7. It Counteracts or Prevents Inflammation

Peanut butter is a great way to prevent inflammation or counteract it because it is so high in omega-6 fats. Omega-6 fats are inflammatory mediators. This means that they help to keep inflammation levels balanced in the body along with other healthy omega fats. If you want to get the most out of peanut butter's anti-inflammatory omegas, you will want to combine your peanut butter with a healthy serving of omega-3 containing foods like flaxseed, chia seeds, or fish.
