Kidney beans are a very popular legume because of its great taste, texture and flavour. They are dark red in colour and are kidney shaped. The common bean is an important food crop, and a major source of protein throughout the world. Owing to its various health benefits, kidney beans are considered to be one of the best legumes for everybody. The top health benefits of kidney beans are as follows:<\/p>\n

\"KIDNEY<\/a>RICH IN FIBRE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidney beans, like other beans, are rich in soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract that binds with bile (which contains cholesterol)and ferries it out of the body. Research studies have shown that insoluble fibre not only helps to increase stool bulk and prevent constipation, but also helps prevent digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis.<\/p>\n

RICH IN PROTEIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

These hearty beans are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods without the high calories or saturated fat found in these foods.<\/p>\n

GOOD SOURCE OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidney beans are an excellent source of iron and provide vitamin C and vitamin A, among other nutrients your body needs for overall health. They also provide foliate, which is important for good heart health. Foliate is especially important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.<\/p>\n

RICH IN FLAVONOIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidney beans\u00a0boast a flavonoid called\u00a0<\/strong>proanthocyanidins, which are known to act as\u00a0anti-cancer and anti-allergic agents, playing\u00a0a important role in improving\u00a0heart health.<\/p>\n

RICH IN MANGANESE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidney beans are regularly listed among the top sources\u00a0of manganese.\u00a0An essential mineral,\u00a0manganese fights off free radicals and is required by the body for proper enzyme functioning, nutrient absorption, wound healing and bone development.<\/p>\n

GOOD FOR BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vitamin K is present in abundance that is very beneficial for the brain and nervous system. The myelin sheath requires sphingo-lipids for proper formation. Vitamin K helps in the synthesis of sphingo-lipids that aid in healthy brain and nervous functioning.<\/p>\n

BONE STRENGTH<\/strong><\/p>\n

The manganese and calcium content in kidney beans aids in developing stronger bones and thus prevents osteoporosis. Kidney beans contain foliate that maintains the level of homocysteine and reduces the risk of bone and hip fractures<\/p>\n

BOOST IRON<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rich in iron, red\u00a0kidney beans can increase your energy. They are better at this than red meat, which also contains iron but is high in cholesterol and fat. Particularly for menstruating women, who are more at risk for iron deficiency, boosting iron stores is essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
