They are <strong>high in fibre, provide B vitamins, and contain essential minerals<\/strong> such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc.<\/p>\n<p>Legumes are very filling and, contrary to common myths, <strong>they are low in fat and do not cause weight gain.<\/strong> The issue arises when they are cooked or served with fatty, high-calorie foods such as chorizo or blood sausage. <\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons, <strong>legumes are one of the most recommended foods<\/strong> and a major source of <strong>nutrients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to nutritionists, they should be consumed <strong>3 to 4 times a week.<\/strong><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;texto_grande&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.105&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Health Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Legumes are among the foods with the most health benefits. <strong>Their high fibre content may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease<\/strong>, and their iron content is particularly beneficial for <strong>preventing anaemia<\/strong>\u2014especially in women and children\u2014when combined with vitamin C. <\/p>\n<p>They also <strong>help stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels,<\/strong> making them ideal for people with diabetes and suitable for weight-loss diets.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>calcium <\/strong>found in legumes supports <strong>bone health<\/strong> and helps reduce the risk of fractures caused by osteoporosis.<\/p>\n<p>Legumes <strong>contain no cholesterol,<\/strong> making them suitable for everyone.
