Health Benefits of Beans
Other health benefits of beans include:
- Low cholesterol- Beans have soluble fiber that lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Reduction of weight- Having 2 to 3 percent fat and no cholesterol, natural beans are good for those who want to lose weight. These can also give the feeling of fullness without taking in many calories.
- Good for diabetics- Beans are composed of complex carbohydrates and protein. Thus, these are digested slowly resulting in controlled sugar levels.
- Lower risk for cancer- Because beans have a lot of fiber and antioxidants, adults who eat 3 cups of beans every week can avoid having long-term diseases like cancer and can achieve better health.
