WHY ARE BEANS CONCIDERATE AS SUPERFOOD?

• PACKED WITH PROTEIN
  Beans are packed with plant proteins which are the best kind of protein. Vegetarians or vegans who don't eat meat or poultry can use this alternative since about 1/2 cup of beans provides 7 grams of protein which is as much as 1 ounce of chicken or meat.

• HEALTHY HEART
  Because beans contain an abundance of soluble fiber which lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels which means, healthy heart. Just 7 grams of this fiber, significantly can lower your risk of developing any of these conditions.
  Beans also provide a good source of magnesium and potassium which are the key minerals for a healthy heart.
  
  
• FILLED WITH FIBER
  It is recommended by scientists that adults should consume 3 cups of beans/week to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and just promote overall health, mainly because of their abundance of fiber and antioxidants.
  
  
• NUTRIENT-RICH
  Beans also contain a powerhouse of nutrients which include: antioxidants, vitamins and minerals like copper, iron, magnesium, folate, zinc and manganese. If you are not getting enough of important nutrients, beans can help you with that.
  
  
• HIGH IN IRON
  The most common nutritional deficiency is the iron deficiency which is the leading cause of conditions where your body is lower than normal red blood cell count.
  
  
• MAY REDUCE CANCER RISK
  Because beans are rich in antioxidants, which play a role in protecting against free radicals which could damage your cells, which leads to cancer.
  Other substances found in beans may also play a role in fighting cancer. Saponins, in particular, has shown to block the reproduction of cancer cells and also slow the growth of tumors.
  
  
• REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR
  The carbs we get from the beans get absorbed at a slower rate over a longer period of time, which helps to keep your blood sugar steady thanks to the fiber and protein we also get from the beans. That is one of the reasons why beans help to keep diabetes at bay.
  
  
• VERY AFFORDABLE
  Beans are the least expensive source of protein and very convenient since you can guy them anywhere.
