Rich in Potassium, Magnesium and Fiber, Which May Reduce Blood Pressure

According to estimates, one in three persons in America has high blood pressure. Because it increases your risk of developing heart disease, the world's top cause of death, high blood pressure is a major health issue. Blood pressure may be lowered by mung beans. They are a good source of fiber, magnesium, and potassium. Each of these nutrients has been associated in studies with a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure.

Increased consumption of legumes like beans also reduced blood pressure in persons with and without high blood pressure, according to a review of eight research. Interesting research has found that specific mung bean proteins can inhibit the enzymes that cause blood pressure to naturally rise in test-tube and animal experiments. How big of an impact these proteins would have on human blood pressure levels is currently unknown.
