The five effects that happen in the body when we eat more legumes

A new study published in the journal Nutrients analyzed the effects of dried legumes — such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, and dried peas — on the human body. These legumes, which have fed human populations for thousands of years, provide plant protein, fiber, and carbohydrates that are not completely digested in the small intestine, reaching the large intestine where they feed intestinal microbes. The study analyzed the available evidence on the benefits of these legumes for the gut microbiota, metabolism, and also environmental sustainability.
