British doctor Deborah Lee confirmed that eating legumes, especially beans, helps to improve general health and reduce the risk of arthritis.
The doctor explained that legumes are rich in a variety of health-promoting micronutrients. From vitamins to fiber.
“These antioxidants fight and prevent damage to potentially dangerous molecules called reactive oxygen species, and help reduce inflammation,” Deborah Lee said.
She emphasized that inflammation, which turns into a chronic one, is the main reason for the development of arthritis. She explained that legumes enhance the absorption of magnesium, a substance that plays an important role in fighting infections.
