(1) Prevent arteriosclerosis:

Every 100 grams of black beans can provide 371 calories, with protein accounting for 36-40%, which is high-quality plant protein and easy for the human body to digest and absorb. Oil accounts for 15%, mainly unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid), which can promote the metabolism of cholesterol in the blood. In addition, the plant sterols contained in black beans can compete with the sterols in other foods for absorption, accelerate the excretion of sterols in feces, and avoid excessive cholesterol accumulation in the body. In the animal test model, rabbits with hypercholesterolemia who eat black beans are more helpful in improving the degree of vascular embolism than soybeans. Recent preliminary studies have confirmed that roasting black beans can reduce the concentration of triglycerides in human plasma by 23%.

(2) Anti-aging:

Black beans are rich in vitamin E, anthocyanins and isoflavones, which have antioxidant properties. Vitamin E can capture free radicals and become the outermost protective layer in the body to prevent oxidation. The red anthocyanins released by the black bean seed coat can remove free radicals in the body and have better antioxidant activity in acidic conditions (when gastric acid is secreted), thereby enhancing vitality. Isoflavones have been proven to have a variety of physiological functions, such as preventing osteoporosis, preventing cancer and anti-oxidation. Therefore, black beans can be used in health care diets for specific diseases. According to current human studies, taking 40 grams of roasted black beans every day can delay the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol).

(3) Prevent constipation:

Black beans contain 5% crude fiber and oligosaccharides, which not only help intestinal peristalsis, so that flatulence and toxins in the body are eliminated smoothly, and can improve constipation; oligosaccharides are beneficial to the proliferation of bifidobacteria, thereby improving the intestinal flora environment and having a regulating effect on the intestine.

(4) Prevent brain aging:

The unsaturated fatty acids in black beans can be converted into lecithin in the human body, which is the main component of brain nerves. The calcium and phosphorus minerals contained in black beans can prevent brain aging and dullness, and have the effect of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence.

(5) Beauty and hair care:

Black beans are also rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, which are nutrients needed for beauty and skin care. In particular, it contains a large amount of pantothenic acid, which helps to prevent hair from turning white.
