Kidney beans( Phaseolus), The Best Function Food for Reduced Risk and Treatment of Chronic Diseases

A recent study suggested a regular intake of kidney bean may be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

Kidney bean is popular because of its kidney shape, strong flavor and color of reddish-brown in nature. The bean often is an excellent dietary selection with no cholesterol, but a good source of protein and minerals.

Chronic disease is a medical condition lasts more than 3 months or more and can not be cured.

According to the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, consumption of kidney bean regularly attenuated the increased glycaemic stress (hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia) including diabetes, CVD and cancer.

Dr. Hutchins AM, the lead author said, " (The efficacy of kidney in reduced risk of chronic illness may be attributed to the) glycaemic response and the impact that relationship may have on the risk of developing diabetes, CVD and cancer".

In the study to compared two different illumination conditions during germination (12 h light/12 h dark vs 24 h dark) in lentils (Lensculinaris L.) and kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), melatonin content exerted a significantly antioxidant activity in protection against free radicals as well as showing the use of food as preventive strategies in combating chronic diseases through the diet.

Furthermore, the investigation of phenolic rich extracts obtained from two kinds of common beans, white kidney beans (WKB) and round purple beans (RPB), extracts Phenolic acids and phenolic compounds expressed strong antioxidants and anti-inflammatory activities in reduced the incidence of several chronic diseases that share an inflammatory component.

Dr. García-Lafuente A, the lead researcher in the study said, "common bean extracts may be used as a source of anti-inflammatory agents as well as a dietary complement for health promotion".

Taking together, intake kidney beans regularly may reduce the risk and progression of chronic illness through the immunomodulatory effects involved in increased antioxidant and ameliorated inflammatory activities.
