Black beans help prevent cancer.

Beans, whether black beans, red beans, green beans, broad beans, or kidney beans, not only fill you up but also don't raise blood fat levels.

Because 100g of beans contains less than 0.5g of fat, with no more than 1% of that being harmful to the body.

Besides essential amino acids for the building processes in the human body, as well as many vitamins and minerals, beans are considered good medicine because they contain many bioactive compounds that help prevent cancer.

According to Dr. Cohen of the German Nutrition Society, thanks to the isoflavones and saponins in beans, they both inhibit tumor growth and help phagocytes identify and destroy cancer cells.

Going even further, according to Geil, a renowned nutritionist in Germany, it's possible to reduce blood cholesterol levels by up to 30% without medication if you consistently eat 250g of cooked beans (any type) every day for six weeks.

A study at the University of Kentucky, USA, showed that a diet including 200g of beans per day for three consecutive weeks not only lowered triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol but also reduced the risk of myocardial infarction.

According to Geil, beans are a food that helps people with diabetes feel full while stabilizing blood sugar levels because beans are metabolized more slowly than other starches. In addition, the fiber in beans helps enhance insulin activity and promotes bowel regularity, which is beneficial for people with diabetes who are prone to constipation.

Another commendable aspect of beans is their abundant iron and folic acid content, making them a safe and nutritious food throughout the nine months of pregnancy.

Thanks to its plant-based protein content, it's a nutritious source of protein for people recovering from injuries or chronic illnesses, without the risk of byproducts like cholesterol and uric acid, which are commonly found in animal protein.
