Beans, in all shapes and sizes, are heart-healthy in addition to their immune-boosting benefits, as they contain calcium and help increase bone density, according to Indiatoday.
Beans are among the most nutritious legumes, they are excellent sources of protein for vegetarians, and they have many other benefits for the body.
Beans are important for cardiovascular health along with immune-boosting nutrients. From a health standpoint, beans are absolutely magical. Despite the differences in shapes, sizes, colours, textures and flavours, beans are surprisingly similar in nutrient composition.
Beans are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and promote overall health by eliminating toxins, cleansing the blood, and fighting disease.
Beans should also be consumed by people with diabetes, according to nutritionists, because they are rich in fiber, have a low glycemic index and provide sustained energy.
Many recent studies have confirmed the health benefits of beans, as the soluble fiber in beans can reduce cholesterol and help prevent type 2 diabetes, by stabilizing blood sugar.
A 2001 study found that eating beans four times a week reduced heart disease by 22 percent.
Another study, conducted in 2004, revealed that people lived nearly eight additional years following eating 20 grams of legumes per day.
Beans also help with weight loss. A 2016 review found that people who ate up to 9 ounces (255 grams) of beans per day over the course of six weeks lost more weight than people who did not.
In addition to all these benefits, beans and legumes are generally inexpensive and can even be grown at home, making them the ideal food to help “economically disadvantaged” populations live longer.
