Therefore, the body knows exactly what the beans are made of and what digestive juices are needed for their assimilation. What can not be said about "outsiders", which it is much more difficult to cope with.
The gastrointestinal tract is easier to digest and assimilate foods grown in the native climatic zone. And in Ukraine, the beans were brewed, baked and soared, as they say, under Tsar Gorokha. The fact that no vegetable can boast of such excellent preservation speaks in favor of beans. If the life of the non-seasonal cucumber-tomatoes stuffed with chemistry is very short, then the legumes and winter do not lose their useful properties. Beans are useful for the health of the body, they regularly supply us with valuable nutrients, increase the mood and give a charge of vivacity. So dishes from beans are beneficial for the health of the body - an excellent energy source, especially at the end of winter, when many feel broken, sleepy and sluggish.

It would seem that there may be in such small and so simple at first glance, beans beneficial to the health of the body? It turns out that they have so many proteins (in Greek - "first importance") that they could compete even with meat and fish. It's not for nothing that peas, beans and lentils have got a joking name of "meat from the garden." They contain protein, in value comparable to meat or dairy products. Moreover, vegetable protein is absorbed by the body much easier than the animal - in beans there are few calories and there are no saturated fats, which "sin" any, even the most lean meat. Peas, beans and lentils are a real salvation for vegetarians, because with legumes the body receives all the necessary substances: vitamins, minerals, micro- and macro elements, as well as full proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber. Each representative of legumes has a unique set of useful substances and can bear the proud title of "pharmacy in miniature."
Peas, for example, boast a large number of vitamins B, B2, B6 and C, as well as iron, potassium, phosphorus and zinc. Dishes of peas are not worse than any medicines cured of fatigue, anemia, improve the speed of thought processes, strengthen immunity and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
In the bean there is almost everything that we need for good health: proteins, amino acids, carotene, vitamins C, B, B2, B6, PP, a lot of macro and microelements. In beans, especially a lot of potassium (up to 530 mg per 100 g of product), so it is useful in atherosclerosis, hypertension and heart rhythm disturbances.
String beans, although not as rich in protein as other beans, but it has more vitamins A, B, B2, and E, phosphorus, zinc and calcium.
Beans - an excellent source of vitamins B, C, E and minerals (especially phosphorus and iron), providing the body with vegetable protein and soluble fiber. They lower the level of cholesterol in the blood, preventing problems with the heart and blood vessels. It is noticed that among inhabitants of Latin America where the dishes from beans eat every day, ischemic heart disease is extremely rare.
In soybeans, a lot of vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties and protects the body from cancer. Dishes from soy are recommended first of all to women, after all it is in soybeans phytoestrogens are found out. These substances reduce the risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis, as well as alleviate the symptoms of menopause. However, nutritionists are advised to avoid genetically modified soy, the impact of which on the body has so far been little studied.
Lentil is given us undeservedly little attention. And in vain! After all, it contains a lot of vegetable protein, starch, soluble and insoluble fiber and vitamins. Just one serving of these beans will provide us with a daily rate of iron - an excellent prevention of anemia! Lentils contain such rare trace elements as manganese, copper, selenium and zinc - thanks to them, the skin becomes velvety, and the hair becomes beautiful and silky.
Princess on beans
And now, great news for those who try to lose weight unsuccessfully. Beans are an ideal food for dreamers to get rid of extra pounds. Montignac, a recognized expert in the field of dietetics, knowingly recommends the introduction of dishes from beans, peas and other beans in the daily menu. The French dietician proved that the cause of obesity is not the volume of the meal, but the choice of the wrong foods. He divided all the carbohydrates into bad ones (biscuits, sweets, chips, ice cream) and good ones (whole grain porridges, bean dishes, fruits).
Bad carbohydrates are quickly absorbed, with a sharp increase, followed by a decrease in blood sugar. A short feeling of satiety soon gives way to an attack of wolfish hunger, we again consume flour or sweets - and so on ad infinitum. At the same time, every eaten puff or candy is immediately deposited on the waist, hips and other strategically important places. It turns out that, eating over buns, we grow as a yeast, but at the same time we experience a constant feeling of hunger and fatigue. But the good carbohydrates, to which all legumes also belong, get into the body, go through a long stage of splitting. Slowly digesting, they do not cause a sharp increase in blood sugar and are a stable source of energy. Therefore, people with excess weight have a reason to sit on beans - no sense of hunger, and the extra pounds are melting before our eyes. Of course, do not dress dishes from beans and peas with fatty sauces or combine them with meat dishes in one meal. After all, we do not need the reverse effect?
