How To Uses Of Double Beans
Beans are high in
protein, iron, fiber and other nutrients -- and low in fat, cholesterol and
sodium. In addition, beans are inexpensive, delicious in a variety of dishes
and an excellent substitute for meat. Eating beans may have some drawbacks,
however, including gastrointestinal problems.
Iron Absorption:
Many
types of beans contain high levels of iron, such as kidney beans, lima beans,
soybeans and white beans. However, beans provide non-heme iron, which isn't as
easy to absorb as heme, or meat sources of iron. Improve your absorption of
iron by eating beans along with meat, seafood or poultry or by eating beans
with a source of vitamin C, such as oranges or bell peppers, recommends the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Fiber And Beans
There are two kinds of fiber. The
first is "insoluble" fiber, alias 'roughage', which can't be used by
the human body. Instead it moves on through, carrying out waste products and
toxins. The more insoluble fiber we have, the less likely we are to retain foods
inside our bodies which keeps them from putrefying. Yes, that's a gross thought
but that doesn't make it any less true.

Fiber is what makes you feel full! Obviously,
if we feel full we will eat less and be more satisfied, our appetite will be
more easily controlled and we will either lose weight or maintain a healthy
weight
Beans And Weight Loss
Experts have
loudly proclaimed that there is an immutable formula for calories in, calories
out but, in fact, all calories are not the same because some calories require
much more digestion than others. The harder your body has to work to digest
those calories, the less of them will be absorbed. The difference between a
spoonful of sugar and a spoonful of beans is startling. In fact, if you'd like
to reduce your calorie "price" by 10%, add an extra 14 grams of
fiber.
Protein
The protein in lima beans has several nutritional benefits. Protein keeps your hair and nails strong. Your
body also repairs damaged or weak muscle tissue withprotein. If you choose to
eat an all-protein diet, add lima beans or some other type of legume to your
meal plan. Bean protein is digested better than meat protein.
Iron
Lima beans are rich in iron, which provides cell
growth in your body. Although a diet of lean meats and fish is better than
eating red meat, legumes provide the best sources of iron.
