White kidney beans have the next healthy benefits:
1) Cancer-Fighting Properties
White kidney beans and other legumes are rich in antioxidants, which are known to have anticancer properties. When cells in your body metabolize, they produce compounds known as free radicals. Such compounds bind to your cells, causing aging, cancer, and chronic diseases. Antioxidants destroy free radicals, countering their harmful effects.
2) prevents digestive complications:
White kidney beans are rich in Fiber; it is just like other legumes, and contain both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. 1 cup serving of cooked kidney beans satisfies 45 percent of the Recommended Daily Value (DV) of dietary fiber. Once in your digestive system, soluble fiber binds itself with the bile acids and removes it from your body. This prevents such bile acids from being reabsorbed in your liver and hence inhibits synthesis of harmful cholesterol. Insoluble fiber prevents constipation by increasing the bulk of your stool. This prevents digestive complications such as irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis
3) Detoxifies Sulfites
Kidney beans contain molybdenum, a trace mineral that is a key constituent of an enzyme known as sulfite oxidase.
This enzyme detoxifies sulfites commonly found in prepared foods such as salad bars.
If you are sensitive to sulfites, you may experience headaches, rapid heartbeat, or disorientation.
