According to Professor Ma Guansheng, Peking University of Public Health, the liver is an important organ in metabolism and detoxification, and liver health is not only related to medicine but also closely related to nutrition and lifestyle. Experts recommend maintaining a reasonable diet, adequate exercise and weight control to protect the liver.
Soybeans
Soybeans are one of the notable sources of plant-based protein. Soybeans and soy products are rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fats and bioactive compounds such as isoflavones, lecithin. This is also a group of foods recommended in a balanced diet.
Soybeans can be used in the form of boiled beans, unsweetened soy milk, or tofu. Low-fat, low-sugar, and low-salt preparations are more suitable for a healthy diet.
Black beans
Black beans provide plant-based protein, fiber and many minerals. When used as a partial substitute for fatty foods or processed meats, beans can help diversify protein sources in your diet.
Users can cook black beans into dishes, cook porridge, or combine them with whole grains. Do not turn beans into dishes with too much sugar like sweet soup if the goal is to control weight and metabolic health.
Green beans
Green beans are also a choice rich in fiber and beneficial nutrients. Xinhua quoted nutritional information as saying that green bean peels contain many antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids, tannins and saponins.
Green beans can be used to cook soups, porridges or combined with cereals. For people who need to control sugar and energy, they should limit adding more sugar when processing.
Red beans, chickpeas and other beans
Beans such as red beans, chicken beans, green beans or peas can all contribute to increasing fiber and diversifying the diet. The "mixed beans" group such as red beans, green beans, chicken beans and kidney beans are high in carbohydrates, fiber, potassium and magnesium; when combined with cereals, they can create a better source of protein to supplement.
