Supplement protein and control blood sugar with black beans

Kiều Vũ (Theo American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ) |

Black beans are one of the richest sources of plant protein, chosen by many people in their diet.

In particular, black beans not only provide protein but also provide a variety of other nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals.

How to supplement protein from black beans has been studied and proven to have many benefits, especially for vegetarians or those who want to reduce their consumption of animal protein.

According to a study by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), black beans contain about 25-27% protein, a high ratio for beans.

The protein in black beans is full of essential amino acids that the body cannot synthesize on its own, helping to provide a source of quality protein for the body. One of the outstanding features of black beans is that they are rich in lysine, an important amino acid that many sources of plant protein lack.

Supplementing protein from black beans can help build muscle and recover after exercise. A study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that a diet rich in plant-based protein can help maintain muscle mass and overall health, especially when combined with exercise. Black beans provide a rich amount of protein, and have a low glycemic index, helping to control blood sugar levels.

Black beans also help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Black beans contain flavonoids, a group of powerful antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radical attacks. The combination of these proteins and nutrients makes black beans a good source of food for long-term health maintenance.

Adding black beans to your diet not only helps provide protein but also helps improve cardiovascular health, control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. This is not only suitable for vegetarians but also a good choice for those who want to improve their diet.
