Hi doctor,

With intake of 10 to 12 peanuts or 5 to 6 cashews daily, we get sufficient amount of energy, but does excessive fat also get consumed in our body? Are they saturated or unsaturated? I would like to know some common fibrous foods.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • Yes, having peanuts and cashews does give a good amount of energy to the body, but should be taken in a limited amount. 8 to 10 number of peanuts and 5 to 6 number of cashews are good for every day use.
  • Cashews or soaked almonds are the betterchoicesas of when soaked in water removes maximum fat present in the skin and then consume it without skin.
  • All these foods do contain both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in some amount, so the quantity taken depends on how much fatty acids are taken into the body.
  • Of course, fiber rich foods are always preferred that includes sprouts, spinach, whole grain atta, carrots, brown bread, vegetables like drumsticks, beans, and fruits like apple, kiwi, and litchee.
