Yes.Mung beans (Vigna radiata), also known as green peas, is a leguminous herbaceous plant beans, food and planting , with more than two thousand years of cultivation history. Mung beans are a common food used to reduce heat in summer.
Mung beans are rich in nutrients, according to analysis, mung beans contain 19.5% to 33% protein, carbohydrate 37.0% to 53.2%. Mung beans contain a small amount of fat and most of the unsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid and linolenic acid. In addition, mung beans are rich in vitamins and minerals, comprehensive nutrition.
Notably, mung bean protein has the highest protein score of any legume at 84.9, which is close to high-quality proteins such as whey, soy, and egg. Mung bean protein contains globulin, glutenin, clear protein and alcohol soluble protein, while globulin and clear protein are the most abundant.
Mung beans in the amino acid composition of the protein is also more varied, including lysine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine + cysteine, phenylalanine + tyrosine, threonine and valine. It is worth mentioning that lysine, an amino acid that is generally lacking in food crops, is abundant in mung beans.
01
Improve immunity
In today's society, immunity is the top of the list of people's health demands. Protein is an important component of immune-boosting substances. Through an experiment on the relationship between mung bean protein and mouse immunity, it was found that mung bean protein can prolong the survival time of mice in normobaric hypoxia, promote the phagocytosis of lymphocytes, and then improve the phagocytosis of macrophages, which is inferred that mung bean protein can promote the enhancement of the body's immune system, and enhance the body's physical condition.
02
Antioxidant capacity
The body's antioxidant capacity is closely related to disease and aging, and antioxidant is also the basic demand of people who expect to maintain health. Compared with many sources of protein, mung bean protein shows better antioxidant properties.
Mung bean protein, when broken down into amino acids in the body, has a considerable free radical scavenging capacity of 70%, which is 25% higher than proteins from rice sources. The study further showed that as the breakdown of mung bean protein deepened, its free radical scavenging capacity further increased.
03
Blood Pressure Control
Blood pressure control here is not just about blood pressure, but it is about promoting the body's ability to produce controlled blood pressure control.
Currently, the incidence of high blood pressure is increasing, which is related to the improvement of people's quality of life, excessive intake of substances or extremely unbalanced nutrition. From the principle of hypertension, it is generally believed that there is a close correlation with the over-activation of the body's sympathetic endocrine system and renin angiotensin aldosterone system.
Mung bean protein is more effective in lowering blood pressure. Peptides from mung bean protein have been shown to inhibit ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) activity in a number of studies. In most studies, mung bean peptides have also been found to be effective in inhibiting ACE activity, thereby regulating the reduction of blood pressure.
In addition to these three important benefits for today's population, mung bean protein also has cosmetic and anticancer effects that will not be repeated here. In view of these effects of mung bean protein, people can mix it with rice as a staple food in their daily diet to enhance health care.
In the food industry, studies have shown that mung bean protein can be used in sports nutrition to reduce the buildup of lactic acid; in addition, mung bean protein can also be used as a source of protein for protein supplementation and protein repair.
