Eating nuts for breakfast can lower your blood sugar and appetite for the rest of the day, according to a new study.A study published in
's most recent issue of
British Journal of Nutrition
found that eating peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast can control blood sugar for most of the day, even if you eat a high-carbohydrate lunch. The study also showed that eating peanuts for breakfast caused a significant loss of appetite for up to 12
12
hours."If you include peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast, not only does it lower your blood sugar at breakfast, but you can do the same after lunch," lead researcher
Richard Mattes
of purdue University
told
. The study was conducted
Purdue University and the Federal University of
in Brazil
Vicosa.the study participants ate either
1.5
ounces of peanuts and
3
tablespoons of peanut butter for breakfast, or none of them had peanut or peanut butter, orange juice and wheat cheese (wheat flour
/
wheat milk). They had white bread and strawberry jam for lunch. To analyze participants' blood sugar levels and satiety, the researchers took blood samples and asked participants to measure their appetite every three hours after breakfast and lunch. The participants also kept a diet diary.nut breakfast promotes the secretion of a hormone
called
YY, which suppresses appetite. Those who ate peanuts or peanut butter for breakfast reported lower appetites for up to
8-12
hours and kept their blood sugar low after a high-carbohydrate lunch. According to this article, this may be because the process destroys the peanut cell wall, which helps delay carbohydrate absorption.The study, linked to another recent study published in Nutrition Research
, showed that Mexican
-American sixth-graders who ate peanuts at least once a week were less likely to be overweight or obese, and had significantly lower body mass index (
BMI
) and total blood cholesterol.
