This vegetable is recommended for diabetics because it has a low glycemic index, as well as beneficial carbohydrates, with poor proteins and soluble fibers,” says Dr. Daniela Stan, a family doctor from Călărași, quoted by Adevarul.ro.

Beans are a source of vitamin B, potassium, selenium, magnesium, and even calcium. Magnesium serves multiple purposes in the body: it supports muscular and nervous functions, maintains the immune system, takes care of bone health and blood pressure, and helps in energy metabolism.
