Why Adding A Portion of Bean Fibers to Your Daily Diet Is the Best and Easy Way to Stop Abnormal Levels of Blood Glucose, Scientists Explain

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Epidemiological studies suggested that bean fiber may be used as therapeutically functional food in reduced risk of hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormal high blood sugar in the blood stream. According to glucose test, any one who have fasting levels over 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) and 2-hours postprandial (after a meal) levels greater than 11.0 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) are hyperglycemic.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, dietary fiber intake daily and regularly not only lowers blood cholesterol levels but also normalizes blood glucose and insulin levels, thus reducing risk and treatment of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Unfortunately, recommended intakes, 20-35 g/day for healthy adults and age plus 5 g/day for children, are not being met, according to statistic.

In the concern of high fat Wertern diet in risk of hyperglycemia, Dr. Mbikay M, the lead author in the study of “Variable effects of gender and Western diet on lipid and glucose homeostasis in aged PCSK9-deficient C57BL/6 mice CSK9PC57BL/6″ wrote,
* On Female tested subjects, Western diet showed comparable plasma TC and HDL-C, but lower LDL-C, higher plasma glucose, and normal glucose disposal despite impaired GSIS compared to normal diet.

* On Male, both normal and Western diets, showed lower plasma TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C, similarly elevated plasma glucose, glucose intolerance, and impaired GSIS.

These results suggested normal diet have a strong effect in reduced risk of hyperglydemia in female compared to Western diet and both diets are considered to have a significantly positive effect in increased risk of hyperglydemia.

In a randomized, single blind, crossover design study (food intake: n=22; glycemia: n=10) with 5 liquid meals distributing similar amounts of macronutrients (C – control shake, OB – oat bran shake, F – flaxseed shake, WB – white bean extract shake, and UB – unripe banana flour shake) consumed in five non-consecutive days, researchers after examining the returned questionnaire from participants after 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes ingestion of each shake, suggested that
* In compared to control, intake of white bean extract shake showed a significantly increased fiber component.

* Bean extract exhibited a strong glycemic control through expression of an incremental areas under the curves (iAUC).

Additionally, in the study of children completed a trial of 4 different breakfasts, participated children were  given in random order, with 3 diets differed in fiber content and the fourth diet contained soya beans as part (38%) of the dietary fiber source,

Then,  children in all groups were asked to exercise vigorously for an hour each morning and to rest for an hour. Blood samples drawn from children reveal the following results.
* There were no difference of blood glucose levels on the high-fiber diet in compared to those on the medium-fiber diet.

*  Children fed with bean diet scored a significantly lowest mean blood glucose level, and

*The effect of glycemic control of blood glucose of bean diet was last into the hour before lunch.

Even with the better control of blood glucose, the bean diet was found to be unacceptable diet among children, in compared to the liked of the high- and medium-fibre diets, which were as popular as the low-fiber diet.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that bean fibers may have a positive effect in attenuated risk of abnormal high blood glucose, a major risk factors in risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
