The use of plants for healing purposes has been predated long before the existence of modern medicine.

Recent study suggested regular intake of kidney bean may have a potential effect in prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months or more and can not be cured.

According to WHO in the article of “Noncommunicable diseases” suggested, “The four main types of noncommunicable diseases are cardiovascular diseases (like heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes”(4).

Some chronic conditions also are correlated to other diseases, such as  chronic conditions of high blood cholesterol and pressure are associated to increase risk of heart attack and stroke.

According to the Center for diseases control and prevention statistic, approximately, 117 million people worldwide had one or more chronic health conditions. And 1 in 4 adults have two or more chronic health conditions(5).

The chronic diseases are the 7th most common causes of death in 2014(5).

Although most common causes of chronic condition are either debatable or depending to types of condition, some researchers suggested that physical activity, poor nutrition, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol drinking are the most common risk factors.

Chronic diseases today have become a burden of the health care system, according to CDC. In US, the conditions cost over 68% of annual health care expenditures of $2.7 trillion(5).

Depending to types of chronic condition, patients may experience some correlated symptoms

* In Patients with cardiovascular diseases, the symptoms include chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort (angina),….and shortness of breath.

* Depending to types of cancer, symptoms may including blood in the urine, hoarseness, persistent lumps or swollen glands. … and indigestion or difficulty swallowing.

 * Patients with chronic respiratory diseases may experience shortness of breath, especially during physical activities, wheezing,… and 

chest tightness.

* Patients with diabetes may include symptoms of unusual thirst, frequent urination, weight change,…….. and extreme fatigue or lack of energy.

Kidney bean is very popular because of its kidney shape, strong flavor and color of reddish brown in nature. The bean often is an excellent dietary selection with no cholesterol, but a good source of protein and minerals.

According to the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, consumption of kidney bean regularly attenuated the increased glycaemic stress (hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia) including diabetes, CVD and cancer.

Dr. Hutchins AM, the lead author said, ” (The efficacy of kidney in reduced risk of chronic illness may be attributed to the) glycaemic response and the impact that relationship may have on the risk of developing diabetes, CVD and cancer”.

In the study to compared two different illumination conditions during germination (12 h light/12 h dark vs 24 h dark) in lentils (Lensculinaris L.) and kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), melatonin content exerted a significantly antioxidant activity in protection against free radicals as well as showing the use of food as preventive strategies in combating chronic diseases through the diet.

Furthermore, the investigation of phenolic rich extracts obtained from two kinds of common beans, white kidney beans (WKB) and round purple beans (RPB), extracts Phenolic acids and phenolic compounds expressed a strong antioxidants and anti inflammatory activities in reduced the incidence of several chronic diseases that share an inflammatory component.

Dr. García-Lafuente A, the lead researcher in the study said, “common bean extracts may be used as a source of anti-inflammatory agents as well as a dietary complement for health promotion”.

Taking together, intake kidney beans regularly may reduce risk and progression chronic illness through the immunomodutory effects involved increased antioxidant and ameliorated inflammatory activities.
