Fresh green beans are very low in calories (31 calories per 10g of raw bean pods) and contain no saturated fat. Nevertheless, these lean vegetables are a very good source of vitamins, minerals and plant derived micronutrients. The beans are very rich source of dietary fibre (9% per 100g RDA) which acts as a bulk laxative. Fibre helps to protect mucous membrane in the colon by decreasing its exposure time to toxic substances as well as by binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the gut. Green beans contain excellent levels of vitamin A, and health promoting flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin and Ă&#x;-carotene in good amounts. These compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in ageing and various disease processes. Zea-xanthin, an important dietary carotenoid in the beans, is selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes where it is thought to provide antioxidant and protective uV light filtering functions. Therefore, green beans offer some protection in preventing age-related macular disease (ARMD) in the elderly.
(pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), and vitaminC. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents. In addition, beans contain healthy amounts of minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium, which are essential for body metabolism. Manganese is a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase, which is a very powerful free radical scavenger. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.
