What are the effects of drinking roasted black bean water regularly?
Black bean water is a familiar drink to many Vietnamese people and is also a convenient way to use and receive the valuable health benefits of black beans.
Dan Tri newspaper quoted Nutrient as saying that drinking black bean water regularly not only helps improve kidney function but also brings many other health benefits.
Enhance blood filtration and kidney nourishment
One of the main functions of the kidneys is to filter and remove toxins from the blood.
In Oriental medicine, black beans are considered a precious medicine with many health benefits, especially kidney tonic.
According to Oriental medicine, black beans are cool, have a slightly sweet taste and have the ability to clear heat, detoxify, and enrich the blood. According to Oriental medicine, the black color of beans is also associated with the kidney meridian, helping to improve kidney health and enhance the body's ability to purify and detoxify.
Roasted black bean water is a healthy drink.
Black beans are high in potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and improve blood flow to the kidneys.
According to research from Johns Hopkins University (USA), supplementing enough potassium in the diet helps reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease and improves the kidney's blood filtering function.
Black bean water is a natural way to supplement potassium, helping the kidneys work more effectively, thereby reducing the burden on this organ.
Thanks to its mild diuretic properties, black bean water also helps eliminate excess salt and water in the body, helping to reduce pressure on the kidneys and prevent kidney stones.
Protect kidneys from free radicals
Free radicals are the leading cause of cell damage, including kidney cells.
Black beans are rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins. These are powerful antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and prevent free radical damage.
A study from the Harvard School of Public Health (USA) shows that a diet rich in antioxidants helps reduce the risk of kidney failure and protects kidney cells from harmful agents.
Research also shows that anthocyanins in black beans help maintain the structure and function of kidney cells, especially effective in reducing the risk of kidney damage due to aging or diseases such as diabetes.
Drinking black bean water every day provides the body with the necessary amount of anthocyanin to fight oxidation, supporting the overall health of the kidney system.
Reduce the load on the kidneys
Protein is an important part of the diet for the body to maintain function and health.
However, according to recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), animal protein can increase pressure on the kidneys because it contains many complex proteins that are difficult to digest. Black beans are a safe, easy-to-digest source of vegetable protein, suitable for people with kidney problems.
According to research from the University of Tokyo (Japan), vegetable protein from beans such as black beans has the ability to reduce the burden on the kidneys compared to animal protein, especially beneficial for people at risk of impaired kidney function.
How to drink black bean water effectively
For best kidney tonic effect, you should drink a cup of black bean water every day, preferably in the morning.
Making black bean water is very simple: Just wash a handful of black beans, roast them until fragrant, then boil them with about 500ml of water for 10-15 minutes.
After boiling, filter the water to drink, you can add a little salt or sugar to taste, however, avoid adding too much sugar to keep the cooling and heat-relieving properties of black beans.
We should only drink black bean water 2-3 times/week, with the amount of 100-250ml/time.
