Doctors told what beans can affect blood pressure.
According to the results of a study conducted by the Ministry of agriculture of the United States, three out of four of foods rich in antioxidants are actually beans. Especially useful for red, black and green beans..
Another study conducted at the University of Colorado, also showed that red beans contain the highest concentration of antioxidants, followed by black beans.
This same study showed that antioxidant content was linked to dark color beans: bean pigments belong to the class of antioxidant phytonutrients such as phenols and anthocyanins.
The fiber that contains in the beans, reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood. Indeed, clinical trials have proven that eating beans reduces the levels of total and “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides, while it increases in the blood “good” cholesterol.
