5 reasons why you should add beans to your daily menu

THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

Bean sprouts have a refreshing and nutritious taste, bringing many health benefits. Here are 5 outstanding uses of this food.

Supports gut health

Bean sprouts contain a rich fiber content, which helps support the digestive process and effectively prevent constipation. In addition, prebiotic compounds in beans also contribute to creating a healthy bacterial environment in the intestines, thereby improving digestive health.

Support diabetes control

Type 2 diabetes is often associated with high blood sugar levels. Bean sprouts, with their rich inulin content - a soluble fiber, have the ability to help reduce blood sugar levels. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Chemistry and Nutrition has proven this effect of beans.

Antioxidant effects

Thanks to its high vitamin C content, beans have powerful antioxidant effects, helping to reduce the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. This imbalance causes damage to organs and tissues. Antioxidants also play an important role in strengthening the immune system and helping the body fight disease-causing bacteria.

Good for the heart

Bean sprouts have many benefits for the heart thanks to their high nitrate content, which helps improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine has shown that fresh bean sprout juice can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Providing water for the body

Dehydration can lead to many health problems such as dry skin, dry hair, urinary tract infections and kidney stones. Bean sprouts are a great source of water for the body. However, you should note that eating beans cannot completely replace drinking enough water every day.
