Beans, often dubbed the “sugar eater,” boast a remarkable ability to consume excess sugar present in the body, making them a formidable opponent against diabetes. Individuals managing diabetes are strongly advised to incorporate beans into their diet due to their low glycemic index and the beneficial blend of carbohydrates, lean proteins, and soluble fibers they offer. According to a study published on Adevarul.ro, Dr. Daniela Stan, a family physician from Călărași, attested to the effectiveness of beans in regulating blood sugar levels.
The high content of plant fibers in beans plays a pivotal role in impeding sugar absorption and reducing insulin production, making them an invaluable addition to the diet of those with diabetes. Moreover, beans boast a rich nutritional profile, further solidifying their status as a health-conscious food choice. In addition to being excellent sources of calcium, beans provide ample amounts of vitamin B, potassium, selenium, magnesium, and other essential nutrients. Magnesium, in particular, serves multiple functions, including energy metabolism, immune system reinforcement, bone and blood pressure maintenance, and support for digestive and nervous system functions. Notably, iron found in beans promotes cell growth and aids in blood oxygen transport.
