Summary

This study looks at whether eating peanuts every day can improve bone health, metabolism, and physical function in overweight or obese adults aged 50-75 during a 6-month weight loss program. Participants will be randomly assigned to eat either a daily peanut snack or a nut-free snack. The goal is to learn if peanuts, as a source of healthy fats, can help prevent disease and promote health in older adults.
