Peanut Butter Reduces Stress:

Peanut Butter Reduces Stress: The Manual says eating peanut butter may reduce stress levels. Peanut butter contains beta-sitosterol, a compound that helps regulate the body’s production of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. Consuming just one serving of peanut butter a day can help manage stress and lower cortisol levels. It is important to choose a peanut butter with limited ingredients because added sugars increase cortisol levels.
