Almost half of all childhood deaths globally are related to malnutrition. In India, the diet of the poor population is high in carbohydrates and low in protein leading to stunting, sub optimal neurological and intellectual development and inability to repair tissue. Proteins are the building blocks of all cells and are critical for antibody production, muscle movement, hormone (insulin and somatotropin are examples) and enzyme production (lactase and pepsin are examples), connective tissue production (collagen keratin and clastin), help store amino acids, and can be transport substances such as hemoglobin. Peanuts are an excellent source of antioxidants. Adding protein to a substandard diet will always be a benefit to all ages.
