Beans are an excellent vegetable and are highly recommended for people with diabetes. This is primarily because they have a low glycemic index and a good mix of carbohydrates, lean protein, and soluble fiber. Dr. Daniela Stan, a family doctor from Călăraşi, mentioned in a report on Adevarul.ro, emphasizes that beans are beneficial for managing blood sugar levels.
Beans are commonly known as the “sugar eater” because they are high in plant fiber, which slows the absorption of sugar and reduces the release of insulin. This quality makes them an important part of a suitable diet for people with diabetes. In addition to helping control blood sugar levels, beans are known to be highly nutritious, making them an excellent choice for a healthy diet.
Beans are packed with important nutrients like B vitamins, potassium, selenium, magnesium, and calcium. Magnesium is important for muscles and nerves, the immune system, bones, blood pressure, and energy. Additionally, iron is important for carrying oxygen to blood cells and helps them grow.
