Legumes are a rich source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and B vitamins. They're low in fat and sodium. Legumes also contain significant amounts of calcium, iron, vitamin E, phosphorous, and potassium. Eating legumes can help lower "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and blood pressure, which helps prevent cardiovascular disease.
Legumes produce a slow rise in blood sugar, which is important for controlling Diabetes. Hormone-like substances that are activated by digestive inhibitors in legumes help fight both breast cancer and colon cancer. Legumes also help in the regulation of the colon, preventing constipation and hemorrhoids.
