Here are all the benefits of including green beans in your diet

When it comes to healthy eating, it's a known fact that vegetables play an important role in a good diet. Many dietitians recommend eating leafy greens and just green veggies on a regular basis. Amongst these green vegetables, green beans are veggies that can do wonders for your health. They are packed with various minerals and vitamins which can work really well for your diet. According to the book, 'Healing Foods', "The beans are a good source of vitamin C and folate and have useful amounts of calcium and protein. This makes them heart-protective and anti-inflammatory."



Here are some added benefits of eating green beans:



- They boost energy: Green beans contain twice the amount of iron as spinach does, so eating green beans can help your body recover from iron depletion. Apart from being a key element in the body, iron is also known to help make energy in the body and boost metabolism.



- Promotes skin, hair, nail and bone health: Green beans are rich in potassium and also contain ingredients that help lock calcium in the body. And calcium, as we know, is imperative to strengthening skin, hair, nail and bone health.



- Helps detox: Since beans have strong diuretic properties, they help eliminate toxins from the body. This helps detox your body.



So, try and include this green vegetable in your diet for a healthy lifestyle.
