Eating beans is not just drinking beans. Research has found that the seemingly ordinary horned beans and black beans are secret weapons to fight chronic diseases! The latest research from the Illinois Institute of Technology in the United States proves that eating a cup of beans a day will not only help reduce total sterol, but also effectively reduce internal inflammation, which is particularly beneficial to the "pre-diabetes" community.
This article was published in the Clinical Study of Journal of Nutrition, which recruited 72 adults with prediabetes, divided into three groups: one consumed a cup of rosy beans a day, one consumed black beans, and the other used white food as the staple food control group. After 12 weeks of observation, the results showed that the average total sterol of gerbil peanut group decreased from 200 to 185 mg/dL, with a significant improvement. The inflammation indicator "IL-6" of black bean groupers has been significantly reduced, which means that chronic inflammation in the body has been significantly improved.
Researchers pointed out that these changes do not occur under highly controlled experimental conditions, but in the daily diet of participants, only the staple food part is a clear effect when only the staple food is converted into beans; this indicates that the health benefits of beans are a dietary habit that everyone can easily take. Even the doctors felt surprised by this result.
Although the blood sugar changes in the participants during the experiment were not significant, the researchers emphasized that beans are rich in plant-based proteins, dietary fibers, a variety of minerals and antioxidants. They are not only suitable for pre-diabetic patients, but also for ethnic groups who want to reduce cardiovascular disease risks, control weight, and maintain overall health.
If you want to start eating beans, don’t know how to cook? You can choose canned beans, cold beans, and dry beans, which have the same effect! Add the beans to salad, soup, stew or stir-fry with white dough; it can also be made into mashed beans and mixed with fine texture to add texture to add texture.
