Can I eat peanuts if I have breast cysts?

People with breast cysts can eat peanuts in moderation, but they must be careful to control the intake and avoid excessive intake of fat and calories to avoid adverse effects on the cysts and overall health.

Breast cysts are benign lesions associated with fluctuations in hormone levels and usually do not cause obvious harm, but high-fat, high-calorie foods in the diet may indirectly aggravate cyst reactions by affecting hormone secretions in the body. Although peanuts are rich in high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids, they are high in calories. Excessive consumption may increase body fat content and indirectly disrupt endocrine balance. Some people are more sensitive to peanuts, and long-term consumption may cause mild inflammatory reactions, which is not conducive to the healthy management of cysts. However, current medicine has not clearly pointed out that peanuts will directly aggravate breast cysts, so moderate intake, especially simply boiled or fried peanuts without additives, is relatively safe for patients with breast cysts.

Patients with breast cysts are advised to adjust their diet to a low-fat, low-calorie diet, and focus on the intake of high-quality protein, dietary fiber and vitamins, such as fish, tofu, fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of high-sugar, high-salt and deeply processed foods. At the same time, pay attention to cooking methods and avoid eating fried or heavily seasoned peanut products. Maintain a regular schedule, exercise appropriately and check the breast cysts regularly. If pain, enlargement or other symptoms occur, seek medical attention in a timely manner for professional evaluation and treatment.
