| description | BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a main cause of mortality throughout
the world. CVD is related to life style. Legumes are one of the dietary factors
that have nutritional and functional factors and play an important role in
attenuating CVD risk factors. Legume consumption (at least 4 times a week) is
associated with 22% lower risk for CHD and 11% lower risk for CVD. In this
paper, we reviewed the presented articles about non soy legumes and CVD risk
factors.
METHODS:We used PubMed search engine for this
review and searched words including legume intake/consumption, bean/pea
consumption, CVD/cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation in All Field. We
achieved 346 papers. After limiting repeated articles and studies about soy and
soy isoflavonoids, peanut, nuts, animal studies, children studies, cancer,
renal disease and allergy, finally we reviewed 30 papers in this issue.
FINDINGS:Legume
consumption can improve blood lipid profile. In addition, legume ingestion has
positive potential effect on blood glucose levels, blood pressure, inflammation
status and anthropometric indices. It seems that legumes have more beneficial
effects on lipid profile than other CVD risk factors. However, the effects of
legumes on other risk factors are important and needs more investigations.
CONCLUSION:Increasing
non soy legume consumption is an appropriate approach for improving CVD risk
factors and thus can reduce the incidence of CVD events among societies. |
