Beans Talk | Benefits of Red Beans

1. Beans are a healthy source of protein, and by combining them with brown rice or other complementary grains, you can create a meal with a "complete" protein, containing all the amino acids necessary for good nutrition. And unlike meat, beans are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free.
2. Good source of iron which are low in calories and fat
3. High in antioxidants. Antioxidants are necessary to protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, which in turn may reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. Red beans is even richer than blueberries or cherries in anti-oxidants. ,\Thus, Frequently consumption of red beans help your body fight free radicals and reduces the risk of cancer or other serious diseases, keeping your youth longer!
4. Essential source of fiber. Fibre keeps the digestive system health, ease digestion and prevent constipation, but shrinks the cholesterol levels, lowering the risk associated with cardiovascular disease and regulate blood sugar levels.
5. Great memory source of thiamine (vitamin B1), red bean consumption stimulates attention and memory, is particularly beneficial during periods of intellectual overloaded, eliminate insomnia, combat depression, fatigue and anxiety and lowers Alzheimer's risks .
6. Strengthens teeth and bones
7. Lower the risk of heart attack and energize your whole body!
8. Ease muscle cramping. With more magnesium and calcium than a sports drink and more potassium than a large banana, red beans are loaded with electrolytes to help prevent or relieve muscle cramping.

Weight Management Benefits

The kidney beans are low in fat, high in fiber and a rich source of protein. This combination can help you manage your weight. Protein and fiber both help you feel full longer, while consuming less fat in your diet may help you either lose or maintain your weight. Consuming more fiber over a longer period of time makes you feel more satisfied and had a lower body mass index than did those participants who consumed less fiber. You are also less likely to gain weight from eating vegetables or fruits. You may be less likely to consume large quantities of kidney beans because of the beans fill you up quickly.

How to cook beans

Soaking beans overnight, then draining and rinsing with fresh water, will help to reduce the amount of red beans’ gas-causing compounds.

Types of Beans

There are a several varieties of red beans, including small red beans, red kidney beans and adzuki beans. Azuki (azuki or azuki) beans are easy to digest and are very flavorful, with less of a "beany" taste than other beans. Kidney beans pick up the flavors of whatever you cook them with, making them very versatile for soups, stews and chili. Small red beans are the most common, and also go by the names Mexican red bean or red chili bean. These are the beans traditionally used to make red beans and rice.

While beans are actually one of the healthiest carbs sources out there, loaded with fiber and protein, there’s actually one variety of beans you should be AVOIDING at all costs:

Baked Beans which contains lots of sugars and artificial ingredients.

Some great varieties of beans and legumes are:

• Pinto Beans
• Red Beans

• Black Beans
• Black-eyed Peas
• Marrowfat Peas
• Chickpeas
• Butter Beans
• Lentils

Healthy Snacking | Healthy Substitutes for Snacks

Who doesn’t crave for a snack on a lazy afternoon? Well, most people do regardless of whether they are feeling hungry or just plain bored and need to keep their mouth moving to relieve boredom. Well, if you are one of those people who just love to snack and can’t get enough of food, here are some healthier snacking alternatives you can turn to to satisfy that craving of yours!

Veggies for pita (as a dipping tool)

Fresh veggies work wonders with hummus and contain both fewer carbs and more vitamins.

Cauliflower puree for egg yolks (in deviled eggs)

For that devilish Southern favorite — deviled eggs — try replacing half the yolks in the filling with cauliflower puree. The taste remains the same, as does the texture, but without the extra dose of cholesterol.

Quinoa for oatmeal

Cooked with milk (and some cinnamon, quinoa makes a perfect protein-packed hot breakfast.

Edamame hummus for regular hummus

While hummus might look innocent from the sidelines, it contains more than 50 calories in two tablespoons. That’s why switching to an edamame-based hummus can help reduce the danger while still providing a delicious dip.

Kale chips for potato chips

Who would’ve guessed that a leafy green could make such delicious chips? When lightly tossed in olive oil and some seasoning (salt and pepper, paprika, or chili powder work well) and baked, these curly greens turn into a delightfully delicate crunchy snack with less fat than the classic fried potato chip.

Dark chocolate for M&Ms (in trail mixes)

Most trail mixes are packed with sugar-filled, candy-coated chocolate and dried fruit. Instead, make your own trail mix with unsalted nuts and dark chocolate bits (lower in sugar), which are high in free-radical-fighting flavonoids — a benefit that completely outweighs that candy-coated sweetness.

Popcorn for potato chips

Lower in calories and fat, natural popcorn without pre-flavored seasonings is a great snack alternative to replace those oily, super-salty potato chips. Try made-at-home flavors by adding cinnamon, chili powder, or Parmesan.

Steel-cut oatmeal for instant oatmeal

Steel cut oats are diced whole grains that maintain more of their fiber-rich shell. Rich in B vitamins, calcium, and protein, steel-cut oats also lack the added sugar that often comes with instant varieties.

Banana ice cream for ice cream

No milk, no cream, no sugar… but the same, delicious consistency. It’s simple: freeze bananas, then puree.

Sweet potato fries for French fries

Opting for sweet potatoes rather than the traditional white adds an extra dose of fiber, and vitamins A, C, and B6. Plus, it cuts out roughly 20 grams of carbohydrates per one-cup serving. Just don't overdo it!

Frozen Yogurt for Ice Cream

Picking frozen yogurt over ice cream can help cut down fat content!

Eat healthy and right to see a different you! Healthy food can be yummy too :)
