Description Adzuki beans, also called azuki or aduki, are a small bean grown throughout East Asia and the Himalayas. Though they come in a range of colors, red adzuki beans are the most well known. Adzuki beans are linked to several health benefits, ranging from heart health and weight loss to improved digestion and a lower risk of diabetes. Plus, they are easy to incorporate into a variety of dishes. Health Benefits Can Improve Digestion Adzuki beans may improve your digestion and gut health. That's largely because beans are particularly rich in soluble fiber and resistant starch. These fibers pass through your gut undigested until they reach the colon, where they serve as food for your good gut bacteria. When friendly bacteria feed on the fibers, they create short-chain fatty acids - such as butyrate, which studies link to a healthier gut and a reduced risk of colon cancer. Moreover, animal studies suggest that the high antioxidant content of the beans may reduce gut inflammation, further boosting digestion. May Help Reduce Diabetes Risk Adzuki beans may also contribute to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. That's in part because they are rich in fiber, which helps improve insuli sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes after meals. What's more, test-tube and animal studies report that protein found in adzuki beans may block the action of intestinal alpha-glucosidases. Alpha-glucosidases are an enzyme needed to break down complex carbs into smaller, more easily absorbable sugars. Therefore, blocking their action may reduce blood sugar spikes like some diabetes medications. Adzuki beans are also rich in antioxidants, which experts believe may have some anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetes effects. Can Help You Lose Weight Adzuki beans are likely to help you shed excess weight. Some evidence suggests that compounds found in adzuki beans may increase the expression of genes which decrease hunger and increase feelings of fullness. Test-tube and animal studies further suggest that certain compounds in adzuki bean extracts may also contribute to weight loss. In addition, beans are also rich in protein and fiber, two nutrients shown to reduce hunger and increase fullness, potentially leading to weight loss. In one six-week study, participants who consumed at least a 1/2 cup (90 grams) of legumes per day lost 6.4 additional pounds (2.9 kg) compared to those eating no legumes . What's more, a recent review of randomized controlled studies - the gold standard in nutrition research - reported that beans help reduce weight and body fat. May Improve Heart Health Adzuki beans may boost your heart health. Test-tube and animal studies link adzuki bean extracts to lower blood pressure, as well as lower triglyceride, total and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels - and less fat accumulation in the liver. Human studies also consistently associate the regular consumption of legumes with lower cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of heart disease. In one small study, women given adzuki bean juice for one menstrual cycle reduced their blood triglycerides by 15.4-17.9%, compared to increased levels in the control group. Moreover, randomized controlled studies report that diets rich in beans may lower risk factors for heart disease, including blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides . The heart-healthy effects of legumes, including adzuki beans, may be due to their rich fiber content, as well as their antioxidants and other plant compounds. |
