Pulses have always been part of our traditional cuisines. They add value to our meals and fulfill our body’s need for protein. But what if the pulses we eat are harming more than benefiting us?

It is no secret that nowadays, health has become the priority for everyone. To achieve that goal, it is vital to treat your body as a temple. Adding pulses to your diet is not enough if they are not organic and of good quality. Organic pulses not only help lower blood cholesterol but also maintain the required level of insulin and glucose in the body.

The richness of fiber in organic pulses improves digestion and keeps the functioning of the bowel in check.  The gluten-free nature of organic pulses serves people with gluten intolerance as well. You can read more about gluten here.

Some other health benefits of organic pulses are:

• Supports A Healthy Heart: The rich content of fiber in organic pulses helps ward off the risk of cardiovascular diseases when and if consumed regularly. The cholesterol levels in the body are reduced by the certain type of fiber (Soluble Fiber) found in organic pulses,  improving heart health. Additionally, these potassium-enriched pulses aid in lowering the blood pressure.
• A Potent Source of Folate: Folate, which is a form of Vitamin B, is paramount to produce new red blood cells and promote their growth and development. Organic Pulses are rich in folate, making it an essential part of the meal especially during pregnancy (which further increases the cell growth in infants). It is suggested that women of childbearing age should consume an adequate intake of folate to minimize the risk of having a child born with neural tube defects.
• Assists in weight loss: Organic Pulses, such as chickpeas, grams, lentils and beans, when added in the diet regularly, display promising results in weight loss. The fiber, proteins and healthful starches in these organic pulses satisfy hunger, which prevents overeating and consequently leads to weight loss.
• Lowers the risk of Cancer: Pulses, Beans and lentils work as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, which decreases the risk of cancer. Selenium is an element present in the lentils, which aids in reducing the growth of tumors in the body. It also builds the immunity in the human body and stimulates the production of T cells. T cells help in killing the disease.

To suffice, the pulses, when organic, are more nutritious and enriched with protein, iron, folate, and fiber, making it impossible to exclude them from our routine diet. No matter if you want to keep a check on your diabetes or weight, or are about to give birth, organic pulses can prove to be a marvel.
