Peanut butter is good for your health because the peanut butter is rich in several nutrients, including protein and magnesium, which may help protect the heart and manage blood sugar and body weight.

It is OK to eat peanut butter every day, but in moderation.

Do not eat more than 2 tablespoons, approximately 32 grams, a day.

This protein-packed peanut butter is made by blending roasted peanuts into a thick paste and contains various nutrients that promote good health.

While most of the fat in peanut butter is relatively healthy, peanuts also contain some saturated fat, which can lead to heart problems when consumed in excess over time.

Peanuts are high in phosphorus, which can limit your body's absorption of other minerals like zinc and iron.
Eating a lot of peanut butter, though, promotes artery-clogging atherosclerosis, the process that underlies most cardiovascular disease.

In contrast, unsaturated fats, which make up the majority of the fat content in peanut butter, help reduce LDL cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease.

However peanut butter is unlikely to lead to weight gain if eaten in moderation — in other words, if you consume it as part of your daily calorie needs.

In fact, most research links intake of peanut butter, peanuts, and other nuts to lower body weight
