In recent years, Japanese people have been advocating the consumption of black bean drinks to lose weight and maintain health. In addition to black bean water, black bean vinegar is also on the list. It is also claimed that it can reduce fat and lower cholesterol, and is much better than soybean water. There is also a Korean Oppa who lost 51 kg easily in just 4 months by eating black beans for breakfast. He also published a new book "Black Bean Diet", which sold over hundreds of thousands of copies, which is amazing! Domestic weight loss doctors look at black beans, which are known as the "black gold of beans". Are they really a magic weapon for weight loss? Faced with this "black gold force", which one should you choose among black bean water, black bean milk, and black bean vinegar?

Black beans contain anthocyanins and isoflavones, which have strong antioxidant properties

Let’s first take a look at the amazing nutritional content of black beans. Generally, black beans are rich in anthocyanins and a large amount of isoflavones, especially in the germ part. Isoflavones have a very powerful antioxidant effect and have beauty benefits. In addition, one of their functions is to promote intestinal movement and effectively reduce edema and constipation. Therefore, people with non-morbid edema-type obesity or non-anatomical constipation-type obesity often try drinking black bean water as a way to lose weight. Anthocyanins also have strong antioxidant effects, which can help increase the metabolic rate, help digest fat, and increase satiety.

Black beans contain dietary fiber, lecithin, etc., which can help prevent obesity.

In addition, black beans also contain black bean saponins, which can help inhibit the absorption of fat. Saponins also have the effect of inhibiting the absorption of glucose lipids and converting them into neutral fat. The traditional book "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that black beans have a positive effect on the excretion of toxins from the body and on the physiological function of the kidneys. Moreover, black bean water contains a large amount of water-soluble dietary fiber, which can help bowel movements and detoxification. The rich vitamin B12, linoleic acid, lecithin, dietary fiber, etc. contained in it can effectively inhibit the cholesterol in the blood and concentrate fat, helping to prevent obesity. So generally speaking, in theory, black beans have a better function in assisting weight loss than yellow beans.

Black bean milk made from black beans has a higher GI value, and black bean water has lower nutritional value than black beans.

Is it better to lose weight by drinking black beans in liquid form? Dr. Liu Boen said that some black beans are made into soy milk, but beans themselves contain starch. If they are made into liquid ingredients, their GI value will be higher, which is not conducive to weight control. However, if black bean water is made, the nutritional content of the black beans will be lower than that in its original form (original food state). Therefore, it is recommended to eat it in its original, unprocessed form, as it will have greater nutritional value. As for the time to take it, it is naturally recommended to take it in the morning on an empty stomach, the effect will be better.

Black bean vinegar for weight loss, be careful of increased gastric acid secretion which may worsen gastrointestinal ulcers

Speaking of black bean vinegar, one of its functions is that it can prolong the time it takes for food to be empty in the stomach, thus helping to increase the feeling of fullness. In addition, it can also reduce the volatility of insulin secretion, making it less likely for sugar and fat to accumulate. As for those who want to use black bean vinegar to lose weight, if they already have gastrointestinal ulcers, they should avoid using it in large quantities, because vinegar itself is an acidic component, which will increase gastric acid secretion and aggravate the deterioration of the ulcer.

In addition, another effect of vinegar is that it will enhance the excretion of sodium ions in the blood and lower blood pressure. Therefore, people with low blood pressure should use it with caution. For patients with osteoporosis or fractures, acetic acid should be used with caution because it will cause bone calcium to be released into the blood, affecting the dynamic balance of calcium and indirectly affecting bone healing after fracture.

Don't consume too much black beans. Be careful of hyperpurine causing gouty arthritis and kidney stones.

What should you pay attention to when consuming black beans? Dr. Liu Boen said that generally speaking, soy products contain purine. Excessive intake of high-purine ingredients can easily lead to hyperuricemia, which can clinically cause gouty arthritis, kidney stones, kidney disease and other problems. Large amounts of sodium urate crystals precipitate in the renal interstitial tissue, which will also cause an inflammatory response. If uric acid crystals accumulate in the collecting ducts and ureters in large quantities, they will cause acute renal failure. Therefore, for patients who already have high uric acid or gout, it is not recommended to consume too much black bean milk, black bean water, and black bean vinegar.
