Important: It is very important to pay attention to what you are eating because certain foods may affect individuals differently. I do not have a problem eating peanuts or peanut butter. It does not trigger an inflammatory response; however, according to some it could have an inflammatory response.
Ingredients
3 tbsp. creamy or crunchy All Natural Peanut Butter (ingredients should read organic roasted peanuts and maybe salt)
3 tbsp. 100% Pure Honey
1/2 cup Oatmeal or Oats
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
- Add peanut butter and honey to a bowl. To soften you can put in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Stir in the oats or oatmeal and cinnamon. Wrap in foil and cool in the refrigerator approximately 2 hours.
Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is a great source of potassium which is known to improve health. Decreased levels of potassium cause a drop in blood insulin levels. Peanut butter is also a good source of fiber which may help maintain your blood insulin levels. Fiber also helps move toxins out of your body which may prevent it from excretion through the skin.
Honey: Pure honey is a good alternative sweetener because it does not contain preservatives, additives or chemicals. Honey is an antioxidant which helps remove free radicals from the body. Honey is also loaded with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, magnesium, manganese, and zinc (to name a few). Some of these minerals have many anti-inflammatory benefits.
Oats: Oats may help stabilize blood insulin levels along with boosting the immune system. Oats contain avenanthrmides which have been shown to act as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is another great source to help with blood insulin control. Cinnamon is also an antioxidant which helps fight off free radicals. Cinnamon is rich in manganese, fiber and iron. Many studies have been conducted surrounding cinnamon's anti-inflammatory benefits.
