Why is bean a super food?


0. As universal food


source

Super source of protein,
but unlike other good sources of protein,
Beans have a little fat,
and does not contain saturated fats and cholesterol.
It is always easy to prepare.
And for some people it is important yes not expensive.


1. Replacement for meat.The secret of vegetarian and vegan cuisine


source
Beans are generally one of the best sources of plant origin proteins.
But he does not contain all the essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids are those that a human body can not synthesize.
The consequence of the lack of essential amino acids in the diet is the inability of the cell to synthesize the human proteins.
That is why we have to import them from an external source.
Sources can be of plant or animal origin (from recently synthetic - artificial from the lab ).
Animal origin proteins contain all essential amino acids .
That's why they are "as" more valuable proteins.
However, this disadvantage is solved by a simple combination of food of plant origin.
How?
legumes like beans, peass and lenses often do not contain enough methionine and tryptophan.
Whole grains such as brown rice, oats and wheat lack the isoleucine and lysine.
If you combine these two foods in one meal, you will provide essential amino acids in the required quantities.
So you need to combine foods that are complementary.
It's not hard at all.
Table,Foods with nutritional properties are all you need.
Complementarity of foods is the basic rule of good vegetarian or vegan cuisine.
With a little fancy and that's it!
And so they do are not need meat, fish, eggs and milch.


2. Problems with emptying the bowels


source

One meal of beans that makes up 20 - 25% fiber of RDA.
The fibers stimulate and maintain proper digestion and prevent constipation (constipation).
They help to prevent and treat hemorrhoids, irritable colon syndrome, colon cancer.


3. Bowel microflora



!source

They create a healthys intestinal microfloras which is a prerequisite for strong immunity.


4. Heart function



source
A study conducted at 16,000 respondents from the US, Europe and Japan over a period of 25 years revealed that by consuming legumes the risk of cardiovascular disease decreased by incredible 82%!
This is due to the rich content of folate in the skin that reduces the amino acid homocysteine.
Increased homocysteine levels are a risk factor for cardiac, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, and are found in 20-40% of patients with heart disease.


5. Brain Functions


source

Beans have a beneficial effect on mental health through vitamin thiamine that is involved in energy production and the synthesis of acetylcholine, an essential neurotransmitter for memory whose deficiency affects the occurrence of age-related mental illnesses such as senility and Alzheimer's disease.


6. Diabetes


source

It contains a lot of complex carbohydrates and fibers.
This prevents the rapid growth of blood sugar and is therefore good for diabetics.


7.Celiac disease (gluten enteropathy)



source

The beans do not contain gluten, so they can be used by people with gluten enteropathy.

Reminder!

Gluten intolerance (celiac disease) is the inability of the organism to break down gluten from food (cereals - wheat, rye and barley).
If you do not have natural intolerance of gluten and if you are not allergic to gluten, you do not have to avoid gluten and pay expensive gluten-free products.
Simply, but true.


8.Anticancer properties


source

The beans as an antioxidant occupy 3 of the first 4 places on one of the important tables.Very interesting!

It is a study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture and measured the total amount of antioxidants per serving.

This table is illustrative only (do not eat beans every single day).

1 Red beans (dried) half cup 13727
2 blueberries 1 cup 13427
3 Red kidney beans (dried) half cup 13259
4 plain beans half cup 11864
5 blueberries 1 cup 9019
6 cranberries 1 cup 8983
7 boiled artichokes 1 cup 7904

Now you see the title from the beginning of the text.


One opinion and questions


People constantly invent "new and new" food.

Do you know what you eat?

And The offer of nature is like a Swedish table.

And what do smart we take?

What you think?

Until next time,

greeting

Beans, is really the best food ever, it is the food i eat whenever im stressed out. If you wanna chase me out of my comfort zone just consider cooking this will rice of about 30%. Then kuboskeey is out of his comfort zone already...

I forgot to mention, if the day before cooking bean soaked in water, then is "production of gases" drastically decreased.
Thanks o atention.

What a tip😂, but I love it when I pass out gasses after a plate of ma favorite... I was told it's good to pass out stinking gases... Just joking....

Maybe you like it, but you need to ask others.
I'm joking.

Do I ask whenever I wanna defeacate? Urinate? No, so I've got no reason to ask any fucking body before I pass out gasses. Afterall, it good for them. My gas is supernatural, when you inhale it, you are free from cancer. Hahaha

I believe in the word. hahaha

😂😂😂

I did not know this " production of gases". what do you mean by that? gas production in Bowel?

Yes.
Gas after meals comes due to the inability of the organism to digest complex chemical compounds - ogliosaharids ( not digestibles, sugars).
These compounds are soluble in water.
When the water is gone
(and starts to boil the beans),
the proportion of ogiosaharid is significantly smaller,
and therefore the intensity of the gas is smaller.

Thank you for your comment.

it's fantastic. prevention of free radical formation causing protection of your chromosome ends and resulted in a healthy situation.

Great post, I didn't know these things about bean! Also, beans are great because you can combinate them with almost every food. I think that everybody need to eat food like this because sometimes we unfortunately don't know what exactly we are eating.
