In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at things that happen to the body when you eat beans and plantain.

1. You Enjoy Easy Digestion

Both beans and plantains are beneficial to the digestive tract. They both have a lot of fibre which naturally helps the digestive system. Fibre works as a fuel for colon cells, helping them to stay healthy.

It also keeps the digestive process moving by providing smooth and regular bowel motions. The highest fibre content is seen in the beans and plantain combo.

2. You Enjoy Natural Weight Loss

Beans and plantain may be among the best weight loss foods you can eat. Beans are high in both protein and fibre, but low in calories. Protein and fibre are two of the most essential nutrients for weight loss.

On the other hand, plantain contains fibre and starch, which are complex carbohydrates.

3. You Enjoy A Boost In Your Immune System

You must eat healthy foods to enhance your immune system. Beans and plantains are two examples of such foods. They’re both high in antioxidants like vitamin C. Beans include a specific antioxidant known as kaempferol, which can aid in the battle against cancerous cells.

4. You Enjoy Regulated Blood Sugar
