Green beans help reducing blood glucose

Research shows that green beans contain 2 substances called cytosterol and stigmasterol. Both of those can boost the amount of insulin in our body. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by our body by an organ named pancreas. Insulin works to reduce glucose level in blood. Mellitus diabetes is a condition whereby one’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin or incapable to produce insulin at all.

Green beans are widely available and not expensive to buy. To serve this insulin boosting purpose it must be eaten with limited processing like simply boiling it or putting it in soup. Any form of processing with oil is not recommended as it causes cholesterol to interfere.
