Long beans are one type of vegetable that is already familiar to the people of Indonesia. Besides containing many nutrients, the benefits of long beans are also related to breast size and glucose levels.
Long beans have the Latin name Vigna unguiculata supspecies sesquipedalis and are vegetables that are commonly grown in warm temperate regions, such as countries in South and Southeast Asia.
What are the Benefits of Long Beans?
The benefits of long beans come from many minerals and vitamins contained in them. Among these are vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, panthotenic acid, vitamin B6, folic acid and vitamin C. Meanwhile, the mineral rows contained in long beans are calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and sodium . Based on research, there are several benefits of long beans that are good for health:Has the possibility of enlarging breast size
A study in Indonesia tried to prove the presumption that has been believed about the benefits of long beans to enlarge breasts. Based on this research, this might happen considering long beans contain phytoestrogens which are natural estrogens found in plants. Compounds belonging to the type of phytoestrogens, including flavonoids (flavones, flavonols, flavanones, isoflavones, and anthocyanidins), coumestants, lignans, and stilbens. The presence of phytoestrogen compounds in long beans can actually stimulate the growth of epithelial cells in the breast if joined with estrogen receptor. This process is called the estrogenic effect. The estrogenic effect occurs because breast epithelial cells are very responsive to estrogen, which can ultimately trigger breast development.
Decreases glucose levels
Other research was conducted in an effort to find out the potential benefits of string beans to reduce glucose or blood sugar levels. The study was conducted by extracting long bean seeds and then scientifically analyzed their antihyperglycemic and antinociceptive properties. However, research on the antihyperglycemic activity of long beans is still limited to testing with oral glucose tolerance tests in animals. There is no clinical evidence of this effect in humans, so more research is needed.
