Legume Reduces Cardio-Metabolic Risk, According to Study

Cardiometabolic risk is a condition that plays a critical role in developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease and diabetes mellitus.

Cardioprotection is a process including the use of substances associated with the preserve of the function and viability of cardiac muscle tissue by the reintroduction of oxygenic blood flow back to the tissues.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions caused by the underlying damage of blood vessels and the heart.

More precisely, CVD can be coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina, myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack) or stroke, depending on the location of the blockage or disruption,

According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association, approximately 84 million people in this US living with some form of cardiovascular disease. The condition has also been found to cause the death of about 2,200 people a day.

Atherosclerosis is a medical condition caused by plaque accumulated on the wall of arteries, leading to the narrowing of the artery and reducing oxygen risk blood flow to the heart and brain.

Depending on the location of the blockage, if the reduced blood flow occurred in the brain, it will cause the death of the brain cells, leading to stroke.

However, if the reduced blood flow occurred in the heart, it will cause damage to the heart tissues, leading to heart disease.

The most common disease associated with atherosclerosis is coronary artery disease. Plaques are made up of cholesterol, calcium and other chemical substances in the artery

Most people with atherosclerosis are asymptomatic at the early stage.

Diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulins in the bloodstream. or insulins in the bloodstream are not used properly to convert glucose to energy.

Epidemiologically, diabetes is caused by either the beta cells in the pancreas died-off or insulin receptors with a function that uses insulin to convert glucose to energy clogged-up by fat or cholesterol.

In a healthy individual, after eating, the rise of blood glucose triggers the production of insulin by the pancreas into the bloodstream After you eat, your blood sugar (glucose) rises. This rise in glucose triggers your pancreas to release insulin into the bloodstream that travels through the blood to your body's cells before converting glucose into energy or store it to use later.

In other words, insulin released by the pancreas joints with the Insulin receptors on the outer part of a cell that binds insulin in the blood to convert glucose to energy.

A legume a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae)cultivated around the globe for its seed ot fruit. Legumes are commonly eaten around the world.

On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, researchers examined the effect of legume including green bean on cardio-metabolic risk.

According to the study led by the Dr. Malika Bouchenak, polysaccharides composition and phytochemicals: bioactive compounds, including enzyme inhibitors, phytohemagglutinins (lectins) found in the legume show a significant activity to improve the cardio functioning against the risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and inflammation.

Additionally, all chemical compounds have been found to work synergistically or antagonistically by exerting the interaction with other components of the diet to improve health and prevent diseases.

Particularly, the nutritional quality of legumes may contribute to cardiometabolic risk prevention.

However, the legume mitigating effects and the mechanism of their activities need to be further addressed by an additional large sample size and multicenter study.
