What are legumes?

Legumes such as beans,lentils and peas act like anti diabetic and weight loss agents due to their low glycemic index which prevents food cravings.Beans also contain high levels of resistant starch and fibers which makes it hard for the digestive enzymes to break it down, thus reducing the total calories absorbed from beans.They even have blood pressure lowering effects.

Eating beans,peas or lentils more than twice a week can decrease colon cancer by 50%. Adding legumes to your diet should be part of your clean eating plan.
