In addition, black beans also provide a lot of fiber to help you feel full longer, reduce hunger, and reduce sugar and fat absorption. Therefore, losing weight with this type of bean is an effective and safe method that Japanese people prioritize.

How to use black bean water

To make black bean water healthy, you can do the following:

Method 1: Put the washed black beans in a pot and simmer until soft. After about 30 minutes, take this black bean water to drink. Note, black bean water to drink for weight loss is sugar-free.

Method 2: Use raw black beans, wash, dry and roast until the black beans crack. Take the roasted black beans and let them cool, add boiling water to the roasted black beans and continue to boil for about 2 minutes to make a tea to drink instead of filtered water.

Black bean water also contains vitamins and minerals, but not as much as in beans. When you drink black bean water to lose weight, it helps you feel full and reduces cravings. Compared to drinks such as fruit juices and smoothies, black bean water is the ideal choice.

However, the idea that drinking more black bean water will help you lose more weight is not true. Current science does not recommend how much is enough to drink. You should use about 2 cups of black beans, equivalent to 300-400ml, per day.

Method 3: In addition to cooking water, you can use black beans to cook with rice or make porridge. This is a way to reduce the amount of carbs from white rice while still providing vegetable protein from black beans. Black bean rice also adds fiber, which is good for the digestive system. If you are obese, you can replace white rice. However, you only eat a bowl of black bean rice, equivalent to more than 200 calories/meal.

Black beans are also a healthy food with the effect of enhancing natural resistance, preventing diseases, improving eyesight, supporting treatment, and reducing symptoms of bone and joint diseases.
