Black Bean-Phaseolus Vulgaris L Health Benefits:Good supply of magnesium and folate:Black Bean.

Black Bean Extract INCI Name Phaseolus Vulgaris Extract CAS:85085-22-9 EINECS ELINCS No 285-354-6 Turtle beans black Spanish beans Tampico beans photo picture image Black beans' contribution to heart health lies not just in their fiber, but in the significant amounts of folate, and magnesium these beans supply. Folate helps lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that is an intermediate product in an important metabolic process called the methylation cycle. Elevated blood levels of homocysteine are an independent risk factor for heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease, and are found in between 20-40% of patients with heart disease. It has been estimated that consumption of 100% of the daily value (DV) of folate would, by itself, reduce the number of heart attacks suffered by Americans each year by 10%. Just one cup of cooked black beans provides 64% of the DV for folate.

 Black beans' good supply of magnesium puts yet another plus in the column of its beneficial cardiovascular effects. Magnesium is Nature's own calcium channel blocker. When enough magnesium is around, veins and arteries breathe a sigh of relief and relax, which lessens resistance and improves the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Studies show that a deficiency of magnesium is not only associated with heart attack but that immediately following a heart attack, lack of sufficient magnesium promotes free radical injury to the heart. Want to literally keep your heart happy? Eat black beans. A cup of black beans will provide you with 37.6% of the DV for magnesium.
