They are very effective in treating symptoms such as weakness in the legs and feet caused by physical weakness or kidney deficiency. It should be noted that you should not eat too many chestnuts, and it is best not to exceed 10 chestnuts per day.

Therefore, people who need to replenish blood can choose small peanuts with more red coats, while when cooking porridge and making peanut paste, you can choose larger peanuts. . In addition, soaking peanut kernels in vinegar and boiling water with raw peanut shells to drink can also have a certain blood pressure-lowering effect.
