Peanut butter is loaded with so many good, health-promoting nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, iron, selenium and vitamin B6. Research shows that people who regularly eat nuts and nut butter, including peanut butter, are less likely to develop heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Plus, peanut butter is so versatile — what other food transitions seamlessly from breakfast to lunch to dinner to snack and dessert? If the taste alone isn't enough to make you a fan, consider some of the health benefits.
Satisfy Your Appetite
Peanut butter’s combo of fiber (about two grams per tablespoon) and protein (around four grams per tablespoon) packs a powerful appetite-suppressing punch. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that people who ate peanuts or peanut butter for breakfast experienced a significant reduction in the desire to eat for up to 12 hours. Researchers think it might be because peanut butter is associated with an increase in the production of peptide YY (PYY), a feel-full hormone.
Slim Down
Because peanut butter helps control appetite, it might not come as a surprise that it may help you slim down. Nut eaters tend to have a healthier body mass index (BMI) than nut skippers, according to research.
Protect Your Pumper
Peanuts are an excellent source of unsaturated fats, which helps lower bad cholesterol. Women who ate at least five servings of nuts per week (one serving was defined as one ounce of nuts or one tablespoon of peanut butter) had a 44 percent reduced risk of heart disease compared to women who rarely ate nuts, suggests a Harvard University Nurse's Health study.
Give Yourself Gorgeous Skin and Hair
Peanuts contain biotin, a B vitamin necessary for healthy hair and overall scalp health. It also offers vitamin E, which nourishes the skin and protects it from the damaging UV rays.
Better Manage Type 2 Diabetes
Peanuts — and their buttery spread — are naturally low in carbs so they can help prevent blood sugar spikes. They’re a perfect quick and easy low-carb snack for people with type 2 diabetes.
Of course, you can’t spoon your way through the whole jar of this creamy spread. Any peanut butter buff knows that this pick is high in calories (nearly 100 per tablespoon), so it’s best to limit yourself to a two-tablespoon serving size. And not all PBs are created equal, so when you’re shopping look for natural varieties made without added partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) and other suspect ingredients.
Check out these tasty ideas to see just how easy it is to incorporate the healthy spread into your diet:

It's usually OK to drink alcohol with tamsulosin. However, during the first few days of taking tamsulosin, it's best not to drink alcohol. Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect and this can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded.
Tamsulosin comes as slow-release tablets and capsules (also called modified release, prolonged release, MR or XL).
This means the medicine is released into your body gradually.
How much will I take?
The usual dose of tamsulosin for enlarged prostate and kidney stone is 400 micrograms, once a day. The word microgram is sometimes written with the Greek symbol μ followed by the letter g (μg). A microgram is 1,000 times smaller than a milligram (mg).
How to take it
Swallow your tamsulosin capsules or tablets whole with a glass of water.
Do not break, chew or crush them.
If you can, take tamsulosin in the morning, after breakfast or the first meal or snack of the day. This is so the highest levels of medicine are in your body during the day and gives you the most benefit when you are most likely trying to pee.
It's best to take it at about the same time each day.
What if I forget to take it?
If you miss a dose of tamsulosin, and you remember within 6 hours, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it's more than 6 hours, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time the next day.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you.
You could also ask your pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine.
What if I take too much?
Taking too much tamsulosin can lead to a decrease in your blood pressure and an increase in your heart rate. You may feel drowsy, faint and lightheaded.
