WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEAN AND OTHER PULSES. NOT INSURANCE AND NUTRITIONAL?

This is a blog which bring pro readings summaries of my day-to-day help me lead a healthy life and I write here to share with anyone who is interested. I am not professional in any area of ??health, just like to research about food and share knowledge.

Let's start by clarifying that vegetables are different legumes, ok? Legumes are beans (black, pinto, butter, Rio, string, black-eyed), chick peas, peas, soybeans, lentils, broad beans, lupins, lentils, peanuts, green beans (there more?).

When I read articles about the paleo, I became interested because she defends food that is good for our health. Agreed to wheat, corn, soybeans, rice and the like to health advantages not possessed by N ratios. What intrigued me was especially the beans and peanuts, which I considered healthy, although rarely consume. When I started talking about the paleo, was widely questioned about restricting these foods so important, then conducted research on why remove them from our day-to-day. We will see?

Legumes are DANGEROUS?

Phytates, lectins and protease inhibitors. The three reasons not to overdo the intake of legumes (or fail to eat them)
Much of the legumes are poisonous if eaten raw. 90% of the total volume of a legume consists of nutrients, so always were very well recommended because they are undeniably nutritious food. Unfortunately these benefits are there present to feed the seed itself, so there is a protection involving the seed that is called phytate. 

SOURCE PHYTATE OR ACID PHYTIC

Refers to how plants store the phosphor, but in human and non-ruminant animals, the phytic acid is not a source of phosphorus. Phytates are known to inhibit the absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium causing the person nutritionally dependent pulses have deficiencies in these minerals, such as vegetarians and people in developing countries.

This all means that legumes have anti-nutrients, which are nutrients that prevent other nutrients are absorbed. Paleo Cookbook In the words of the author of a text that I was pleased to read HERE: "First conclusion on legumes: The first conclusion of the pulses is: yes, they are rich in nutrients that will be UNAVAILABLE for you and your phytates, and everything, even annoyance the absorption of minerals you consume, even from other foods. The mere presence of phytates in a meal can make it nutritionally poor, for more colorful and varied it to be. "

LECTINS

Proteins that bind to carbohydrates (sugars or carbohydrates), were identified as inflammatory and toxic. As phytates, are also antinutrients and possess the ability to "stick to" the red blood cells (read on this subject here). They act as natural insecticides and protect plants from external aggressions such as insects, animals or microbes. Are so resistant that they are not destroyed in digestion by enzymes or the stomach acid, which results in damage to cells and tissues of the stomach-intestinal system and interfere with the absorption of nutrients and modifying the intestinal flora and the gut immune system. 

Feature associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, and lupus, can also decrease the growth of animals and humans to consume excess. There are reports of acute poisoning in people who consumed red beans (excess lectin).

Studies show that it is present in beans, soybeans, peas, wheat germ, jackfruit and rice. In addition, other vegetables we eat often as carrots, corn, garlic, almendoim, beets, tea, parsley, oregano, and cherries it is also found. Paleo Diet Recipe Therefore, it is impossible not to have contact with the lectin, the ideal is to avoid plants with high concentrations of it and not to overdo the beans and grain such as wheat.

SOURCE PROTEASE INHIBITORS

Interfere with the breakdown of proteins to amino acids. A vegetarian seeking protein in legumes, unfortunately, can make your nutrient deficiencies worse.

PULSES WANT TO EAT: WHAT I DO?

"The habit of leaving soak in water before cooking, the rice and beans are very healthy as it reduces the phytate content around 20%. Leave to soak corn meal reduced the amount of phytate by 50%. And if we let a sauce overnight to promote natural fermentation, the phytate content is reduced by 90%. Eating seed sprouts (such as bean sprouts) also eliminates phytates, since the plant produces enzyme (phytase) to provide phosphate during growth. Control of anti-nutrients is essential in the diet of children, particularly in malnourished.

"REMOVED FROM HERE.

Just the fact of beans, for example, which is consumed almost daily, bringing both gastrointestinal discomfort should already be something to worry about. Is not it?
