This article on the Vinmec Hospital website, consulted by Traditional Medicine Doctor Tran Thi Bich Ngoc from the Vinmec - Sao Phuong Dong Traditional Medicine Center, answers the question of whether drinking black bean water helps with weight loss.

The question of whether drinking black bean water helps with weight loss will be answered below.

Black bean water offers many health benefits. However, you must drink it correctly to fully utilize its advantages.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor Tran Thi Bich Ngoc from Vinmec - Sao Phuong Dong Traditional Medicine Center, black beans originate from Africa and are now widely grown in tropical countries, including Vietnam.

On average, 100g of black beans contains about 350 calories along with many vitamins and minerals such as: protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin K, thiamin, niacin, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc.

Roasted black beans, when boiled to make a drink, provide the body with a large amount of Arginine – an amino acid proven to help metabolize energy and promote fat burning – and Glutamine – an amino acid that provides up to 50% of the energy after a meal. Therefore, drinking black bean water for weight loss or drinking roasted black bean water to reduce belly fat is indeed possible.

You can drink roasted black bean water daily to achieve good weight loss results, while also enhancing kidney function.

Remember that black bean water cannot completely replace plain water, so you still need to supplement your body with 50% more water. Don't forget to combine it with a healthy diet and scientific exercise; only then will you achieve sustainable and healthy weight loss.

According to Medical News Today, as reported by Lao Dong newspaper, black beans are rich in fiber and antioxidants, making them not only good for your waistline but also helpful in preventing diseases.

Here are some of the benefits of roasted black bean water.

Helps keep bones healthy

Calcium and phosphorus are two important minerals in the formation of bone structure; while iron and zinc play a role in maintaining the strength and elasticity of bones and joints. Interestingly, all of these components are present in black beans.

Therefore, if you want to prevent bone and joint diseases and keep your bones strong, you should maintain the habit of drinking roasted black bean water, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Helps lower blood pressure

Maintaining low sodium intake is essential for keeping blood pressure at a normal level. Black beans are a strong candidate for this purpose. This food is low in sodium and contains potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which help lower blood pressure naturally.

Protecting cardiovascular health

Black beans also have anti-inflammatory properties and contain a high amount of B complex vitamins, which help improve blood vessel health, reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, and support better health for people with heart disease.

Supports digestion

Because of their fiber content, black beans help food move more easily through the digestive process, reducing digestive problems such as heartburn and constipation.

Weight loss support

Black beans are rich in fiber, which increases feelings of fullness after eating and reduces cravings, keeping you feeling full longer and thus reducing overall calorie intake. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has indicated that increased consumption of plant-based foods like black beans reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Skin beautification

The 10 essential amino acids found in black beans play a vital role in collagen production. Therefore, drinking black bean water can help you maintain smooth skin and prevent aging.

Note : Prepared soy milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid leaving it at room temperature without a lid, as this can easily cause stomach upset if consumed.

Black beans offer many health benefits, but you shouldn't overindulge in this beverage to avoid negative health effects.

You should only drink one glass a day, and absolutely do not add sugar, as this will reduce the effectiveness of black bean water.
