Tongue terrorizing terms like PIRACETAM, DHEA, and VINPOCETINE HYDRERGINE are no alien words to countless people today; for they refer to anti-aging drugs. SEETop Ten Life Extension Drugs. But first wait a minute, since when did ‘Aging’ eventually dive into befitting the brand of man-perils?

In her May 2016 study release, Maastricht University Researchers looked at the Netherlands Cohort Study, a study that’s been running for nearly 30 years, to reach their conclusions. They tracked the nut-eating habits of more than 120,000 Dutch people between the ages

 of 55 and 69, analyzing portion size and how often nuts were ingested. The participants self-reported their daily consumption of nuts, peanuts and peanut butter.

The study found that eating this small serving of nuts every day reduced mortality by as much as 23 percent.

 At least 10g a day seems to be the ideal portion size for reaping this newly unearthed benefit.



 But how exactly is this life increment possible? Fine, extravagantly enriched with antioxidants, protein, fibre, essential fats, vitamins and minerals, nuts are some of the best evening grabs as you shoot back home.

 Eating about 10-30 grams (about the quantity that would fit into an egg shell) can do you this health magic. Peanuts contain high levels of multiple poly-phenolic antioxidants that prevent cancer development in the body. The most important polyphenolic antioxidant of greatest body health value is called Resveratol. The peanut is extremely rich in this Resveratol. 

Resveratol has overwhelming functions spanning from protecting your body from all forms of cancer, heart disease, viral and fungal infections to shielding you from the risk of stroke.

And finally, what exactly are the Peanuts? Well, peanut (groundnut) is an annual dicotyledonous herb that grows up to a foot above the ground. It is thought to have originated from Central America from where it would later spread to the rest of the world. One of the most grown food and commercial oil-seeds, groundnuts take approximately 120 days to build the miraculous life extending nuts in their fruit pods that patiently lie underground waiting to be uprooted and dried. Each plant often bear 10-15 fruit pods with 2-3 constrictions helplessly revealing the number of seeds/fruits in the pod. A recent study suggests that roasting or boiling the gnuts increase the availability of antioxidants (the major life extending substance) to the body for absorption.
