Daily peanut butter consumption helped adults 65 and older stand up from chairs 1.2 seconds faster after six months, according to a new study. Experts reveal why this is important.

The study, published last month in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, followed 120 older adults who were living alone and at risk of falls.
While walking speed did not improve, those who ate natural peanut butter were able to sit and stand up from a chair five times in a row at a rate of about 1.2 seconds faster than those who did not.
