5 impressive health benefits of Mung beans

Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are small, green beans that belong to the legume family.

They have been cultivated since ancient times. While native to India, mung beans  later spread to China and various parts of Southeast Asia.

These beans have a slightly sweet taste and are sold fresh, as sprouts or as dried beans. They aren’t as popular in the US but can be purchased from most health food stores.

Mung beans are incredibly versatile and typically eaten in salads, soups and stir-frys.

They’re high in nutrients and believed to aid many ailments.

Here are 5 health benefits of mung beans.

May lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels, reducing heart disease risk
High cholesterol, especially “bad” LDL cholesterol, can raise your risk of heart disease.

Interestingly, research shows that mung beans may have properties that can lower LDL cholesterol.

For instance, animal studies have shown that mung bean antioxidants can lower blood LDL cholesterol and protect the LDL particles from interacting with unstable free radicals.

Rich in potassium, magnesium and fiber, which may reduce blood pressure
High blood pressure is a serious health problem because it puts you at risk of heart disease — the leading cause of death in the world.

Mung beans may help lower blood pressure.

They’re a good source of potassium, magnesium and fiber. Studies have linked each of these nutrients to a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure .

Antioxidant vitexin and Isovitexin may prevent heat stroke
In many Asian countries, mung bean soup is commonly consumed on hot summer days.

That’s because mung beans are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties that help protect against heat stroke, high body temperatures, thirst and more.

However, some experts question if mung bean soup is any better than drinking water since staying hydrated is a key factor in preventing heat stroke.

Mung beans also contain the antioxidants vitexin and isovitexin

High Antioxidant Levels May Reduce Chronic Disease Risk

Mung beans contain many healthy antioxidants, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, caffeic acid, cinnamic acid and more.

Antioxidants help neutralize potentially harmful molecules known as free radicals.

In high amounts, free radicals can interact with cellular components and wreak havoc. This damage is linked to chronic inflammation, heart disease, cancers and other diseases

Fiber and Resistant Starch in Mung Beans  May Aid Digestive Health
Mung beans contain a variety of nutrients that are great for digestive health.

For one, they’re high in fiber, providing an impressive 15.4 grams per cooked cup (202 grams) (3).

In particular, mung beans contain a type of soluble fiber called pectin, which can help keep your bowels regular by speeding up the movement of food through your gut.

Mung beans, like other legumes, also contain resistant starch.

Resistant starch works similarly to soluble fiber, as it helps nourish your healthy gut bacteria.
