Why eat beans? Many can not find an answer to the question, having the chance to eat good pasta, roast beef or savory desserts. Let’s say in the fight of the flavor, the beans are not usually come out ahead, as if many are cutting more and more of their diets. But the beans can not only be tasty if prepared correctly they are, but they are very good nutritionally. Reason enough to eat.
Within the large family of legumes, which includes over thirteen thousand species, chickpea stands out for its antiquity, having been used since prehistoric times. Found traces of it in prognosticates excavations in Sicily and Neolithic in Switzerland, was also present in the gardens of Babylon, it was common in ancient Egypt and was the support plate in Roman times, as witnessed by findings made in the ruins of Pompeii.
The main component of the chickpeas are carbohydrates, of which the most abundant starch. The protein intake of the beans is also important, however it is larger than the other pulses. In addition, its proteins are incomplete because the essential amino acid methionine deficient. With respect to lipid content, chickpea if out from the rest of the vegetables, standing out the presence of oleic acid and linoleic acids (both unsaturated).
In addition, chickpeas are a great source of fiber, and as for vitamins and minerals, highlights the high content of folate, vitamin B1, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and magnesium.
As for the caloric value, chickpea exceeds the average value of the remaining pulses.
Due to its richness in complex carbohydrates, consumption of beans provides a low supply of glucose (energy substrate), which makes it a suitable food for cases of strong physical effort and also as a component in the diet of diabetics.
By low-sodium diets may be included in hypertensive patients. And another benefit often unknown, presenting a marked diuretic effect. But hypertensive eye!, Which are marketed canned incorporate a lot of salt.
Its high fiber content facilitates intestinal transit, making it ideal for constipation, as well as to reduce blood cholesterol levels. However, this high amount of fiber is not suitable for people prone to accumulate gas in the stomach and intestine, or for those that have the delicate bowel (colitis suffering for example). In these situations, you can choose to eat the beans by removing the skin using a potato masher, once cooked.
Although the proteins that provide the chickpeas are incomplete from the nutritional point of view, we must bear in mind that any grain to be consumed together (eg bread or rice) offset the relative lack of amino acid methionine. Therefore, the combination of legume and cereal provides an excellent biological quality protein. It is precisely in these combinations, the beans can be completed in delicious dishes. Do not give up and try.
I bring good news to all regular consumers of rice, wheat bread or bran bread and a warning to lovers of vitamin supplements (and other supplements) to those who love super strengthen their diet.

Vitamin E has been the subject of numerous recent studies, thanks to the health benefits attributed to him. Like other antioxidants, is supposed to be an anticancer agent that helps the body fight infections. When talking about vitamin E is usually referred to tocopherol and, more specifically the alpha-tocopherol form. But in nature so far have found eight types of substances that act as vitamin E: four forms of tocopherol (alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherol), and likewise four forms of tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocotrienol ).
Much research has focused on the tocopherols of soybean, corn or wheat. But the tocotrienols are more potent antioxidants, according to Mohammad Minhajuddin (in a paper published in May 2005 in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal).
In addition to being in the shell of a grain of rice, tocotrienol can be found in the shells of oats and barley. However, the researchers say that the best is one that tocotrienol in rice bran.
Now, what is the dose should be taken of vitamin E. Because although this vitamin is good, is also known that taking too much can be harmful. But considering that the average person rarely has vitamin E as this that are in different forms in many foods.
Hence one of the objectives proposed by the task force Minhajuddin was to establish the proper dose. The results showed that this was 400 IU (265 mg) for a person of 70 kilos of weight, an amount very similar to the amount of vitamin E that is normally ingested in the diet.
In all, the conclusion one can draw is that it is best to rely on a balanced diet means replace vitamin deficiencies, first, with vitamin supplements.
