Peanut butter is being more widely used now replacing other types of butter as a much a healthier food spread.
Peanut butter has less calories compared to milk butter. Another nutritional benefit is the amount of protein

forms of butter.
Apart from the nutritional benefits,it helps in keeping our weight under control because of its high fiber
content. Unlike the other forms of butter, peanut butter has only heart-healthy mono-saturated and poly-saturated
fats/oils. Peanut butter also has the powerful anti-oxidant Vitamin-E, bone-building magnesium and muscle-friendly
potassium apart from the immune-boosting Vitamin B6. According to the study published in the “Journal of American
Medical Association”, consuming 1 ounce of peanut butter(about 2 teaspoons) at least 5 days a week can lower the
risk of developing diabetes by almost 30%. Peanut butter can be had along with bread, banana, apple, oatmeal,
raisins or even with pasta. These combinations are not just healthy but are tastier too.

Each child’s autism level is different and has different indications. So therefore each mother is a learner in the
beginning and then becomes the teacher because she handles the child so well. Thus she can be a learner, a trainer, a sharer,
a teacher to another parent.”
