The United States National Library of Medicine (Medline Plus) suggests that fruits and vegetables be incorporated into a balanced eating plan, since they are rich in minerals and vitamins. Likewise, adequate consumption of legumes favors the body.
According to the Mexican entity, these crops —legumes/legumes— are rewarding for agriculture because they allow soil fertility, combating climate change, “reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers used to provide nitrogen to the soil,” says the United Nations Organization. , which reports that 2016 was declared the International Year of Pulses, a celebration coordinated with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
For example, black beans are grains that are composed of antioxidants, which fight free radicals that damage cells and, in many cases, promote the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes on the skin.
Black Bean Benefits
Known as beans, these grains following consumption help regulate LDL cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and reduce the risk of anemia, according to Tua Saúde.
The Mayo Clinic entity describes it as “a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry an adequate level of oxygen to the body’s tissues.” Among the different types of anemia that exist are iron deficiency, which is due to to the iron deficiency that the body has.
The United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) explains that cholesterol is a type of fat that is produced in the liver and is essential for the functioning of the body’s cells.
However, LDL cholesterol—“bad”—when deposited in the arteries of the body causes serious diseases. For this reason, Tua Saúde assures that Black beans are rich in fiber, which is why they have the ability to decrease the absorption of fats in the intestines, and therefore, lower cholesterol.
The Mayo Clinic points out that high blood pressure is the “force that blood exerts once morest the walls of your arteries,” which causes complications for the heart.
It is worth mentioning that this condition is also called hypertension and the symptoms are not perceived by those who present it, so it can be even more dangerous. However, some may have headaches and nosebleeds.
The international organization explains that to prevent hypertension you should not consume cigarettes; reduce the amount of salt you eat, either in the meals to prepare or those that are bought in cans, for example; avoid the consumption of unhealthy fats, among others.
Therefore, legumes are a good option to prevent this condition, since being rich in potassium they relax blood vessels—arteries—improving blood circulation, says the website.
However, it is suggested to consult with a health professional to create a favorable eating plan and reduce the risk of these and other diseases.
