The fruit that "eats" all the body's sugar. Here's the main enemy of diabetes
Legumes are often called "sugar absorbers" because of their high fiber content, which slows down glucose absorption and reduces the sudden release of insulin. This property makes them essential in the diet of people with diabetes.
In addition to regulating blood sugar, legumes are rich in vitamins and minerals: B vitamins, potassium, selenium, magnesium, calcium, and iron.
Magnesium contributes to muscle function, the nervous system, and normal blood pressure, while iron plays a role in oxygen transport and cell growth.
Beneficial properties of legumes
Legumes come in a variety of shapes, colors, and flavors: beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas.
