With a high content of anthocyanins, proteins and fiber, this small seed is considered a natural secret to help nourish strong hair from the roots and support the body's energy metabolism.
According to Dr. Laura M. Lichten - a nutritionist at Harvard University (USA), black beans contain many anthocyanins, compounds that help neutralize free radicals and protect hair follicles from premature aging. In addition, the plant protein and iron in black beans help regenerate hair cells, helping hair grow thicker and darker naturally. Dr. Laura M. Lichten also said that drinking lightly boiled black bean water, without added sugar, can help improve hair and scalp health.
In addition, many studies have recorded that black beans help control weight thanks to their ability to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce cravings. A report published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (2021) showed that the group of people who regularly use black bean water lost an average of 2.5 kg after 8 weeks, while improving their visceral fat and blood sugar index.
Nutritionist Jessica Cording (USA) notes: To promote weight loss and hair health, you should only drink moderately roasted black bean water, cook with water, avoid added sugar or salt. If burned or cooked too much, the antioxidants will be destroyed."
According to the recommendation, you should drink 1-2 cups of warm black bean water per day, combined with a balanced diet and get enough sleep to achieve the best results. Do not drink water instead because it can cause mineral deficiency and excessive diuretic.
