Dried beans is the general name for many types of beans such as black beans, green beans, red beans, soybeans... A study shows that using dried beans helps reduce the incidence of many types of cancer.

According to K Hospital, dried beans have relatively similar nutritional composition and have differences in flavor, structure, and color.

These dried beans are high in protein and fiber, low in saturated fat, and rich in vitamins and minerals. Therefore, dried beans play an important role in the diet and bring many health benefits, including good for cancer prevention.

1. Prevent cancer

An epidemiological study conducted in 41 countries found that consumption of dried beans reduced the incidence of colon, breast and prostate cancers.

2. Anti-inflammatory effects

Due to their phenolic compounds, dried beans have anti-inflammatory properties.

Randomized controlled trials in humans have also demonstrated that eating 100 grams of black bean powder for three days improved arthritis.

3. Reduce the risk of diabetes

According to the Clinical Nutrition Center, K Hospital, dried bean pods contain anthocyanin compounds and a large amount of soluble fiber with a low glycemic index. This helps reduce glucose absorption in humans and reduce blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.

Several clinical studies have shown that consuming three or more servings of beans a week reduces the risk of diabetes by nearly 35% compared to people who consume little or no beans.

4. Weight loss

Dried beans contain relatively high levels of phytate. Phytate reduces starch digestibility in vitro and slows postprandial glucose absorption in humans, contributing to increased satiety and delayed hunger return.

In addition, the fiber in dried beans also increases fermentation in the colon, slowing down the rate of stomach emptying. Thereby reducing appetite, reducing energy intake and helping to lose weight effectively.

Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that consuming dried beans 4 or more times per week helps reduce harmful blood lipid indicators in the body, while reducing the risk of cardiovascular and coronary artery diseases.

With the many benefits of dried beans, experts recommend that families should include this food in many meals. However, patients with gout or high uric acid levels in the blood should not eat too many beans (especially black beans) because the relatively high purine content in them will aggravate the disease.

Cancer patients need to eat a full range of 4 nutritional groups: starch, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, in which protein from fish, shrimp, nuts... is recommended instead of red meat.
