As the world expert in endocrinology asserts, the consumption of legumes, such as chickpeas, beans, and lentils, contributes to a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. This is one of the main factors associated with heart disease and insulin. Dr. Francis Rizer also added that the benefits of legumes are not limited to improving cholesterol levels; they also help regulate blood sugar levels. This occurs thanks to natural compounds that help lower glucose levels after eating.
The expert noted that chickpeas have protective properties that contribute to heart health due to their high content of polyphenols. The doctor recommends adding about 60 grams of legumes a day to the diet and emphasizes that maintaining this amount may reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes.
