Beans are healthier than meat, yet they are most ignored or only considered when someone doesn’t have enough money to afford meat.

Beans are second to grains in supplying calories and protein worldwide, promoting health heart as they are rich in fibre, a substance that helps one to reduce blood cholesterol and contributes to healthy weight.

Beans are also rich in magnesium, an essential mineral to the human body. Magnesium deficiency may dispose one to fatal diseases like heart Arrhythmias (skipped, irregular and abnormally fast heart beats).

Scientists reveal that beans also reduce chances of dying from ischemic heart disease (blocked or narrowed arteries) by one-third.

Beans are also praised for their high levels of isoflavones-compounds that are similar in structure to oestrogen.

Isoflavones are known for their ability of easing the symptoms of menopause, prevent cancer, and improve bone and prostate health.
