6 Beans and pulses
豆類
Beans and pulses are high in fermentable-fibre, which isn’t easily absorbed by the body. Once eaten, they bind to cholesterol in the digestive tract and are then expelled through waste. Studies show that consuming a cup of beans – like kidney, chickpea or butter beans – once a day can reduce cholesterol by as much as 10% in six weeks.
豆類有很高的可發酵的纖維,不容易被身體吸收。一旦吃了,它們結合在消化區域的膽固醇,然后被排出體外。研究表明消耗一杯大豆-像腰子,鷹嘴豆或棉豆-一天一次會在六周內減少10%的膽固醇。
