Restin + dietary fiber effect… to purify the blood
Multigrain rice such as brown rice is good for the body, but there are people who stick to rice because it is not digested well. In this case, let’s add kidney beans. It helps to metabolize carbohydrates in rice and tastes good. There is one other feature. It is to help ‘clean blood vessels’. It is better to eat a little rice and eat a lot of kidney beans.
◆ How to strengthen blood vessels of kidney beans?
Kidney beans are rich in lecithin. It is an important phospholipid for cellular structure and metabolism. Restin also has the ability to purify the blood. It helps to prevent cholesterol and triglycerides from accumulating in blood vessels and developing into heart disease (angina-myocardial infarction) and stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage) following hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. It is also rich in dietary fiber (fiber, fibre), which directly lowers cholesterol. It is especially good for middle-aged women who are at high risk of vascular disease because estrogen (female hormone) disappears.
◆ Even without meat… How do middle-aged people maintain muscle?
Kidney beans, like soybeans, are high in protein. Even healthy people naturally lose muscle following the age of 40. If you do not pay attention to protein food and strength training, you may suffer from muscle loss in middle age and old age. If you eat eggs, potatoes, and tofu together in a day, you can lessen your worries regarding protein even without beef or pork. The cooking process is simple as it is a method of boiling kidney beans and adding them to rice.
◆ Weight loss effect of kidney beans… In what way?
If you want to lose weight, boil kidney beans and eat them with vegetables and other salads. According to the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the phaseolamine component in kidney beans reduces the amount of calories absorbed by the body. In combination with lecithin, which prevents fat accumulation, it can produce a diet effect. Lecithin helps in managing fatty liver by inhibiting the accumulation of fat in the liver. If you add an appropriate amount of olive oil or perilla oil to the kidney bean salad, it is good for maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels.
◆ Rich in various vitamins… Reduce fatigue and boost immunity
Kidney beans contain vitamin B complex, which is good for boosting immunity and reducing fatigue. Vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, K, niacin, folic acid, etc. are evenly distributed. It also contains many minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Domestic kidney beans are even in size and have distinct oval spots inside the navel. The imported beans are small and long, and the navel is surrounded by black, and there are no obvious spots.
◆ To eliminate toxicity and protect protein… Must be cooked
Use the kidney beans following soaking them in plenty of water. Kidney beans contain toxic substances called lectins, which interfere with the absorption of nutrients, and trypsin inhibitors, which slow the digestion of proteins, but disappear when heated. Therefore, when using kidney beans, they must be cooked with heat to remove toxins and preserve protein.
