| The White Kidney Bean: Nature’s Carb Blocker | |||||||||||||
|
Where did it come from, where did it go? The white kidney bean has been cultivated in Central and South America for more than 8,000 years. Archeologists have dig up evidence showing that the Peruvians were cultivating it as early as 5500 BC. More amazing is the fact that the plant originated in Central America, giving it even a longer history of cultivation. The Europeans discovered that plant when they arrived in the New World in the 14th and 15th Centuries. After that, it spread to Africa where it flourishes still. Today, this bean had become one of the most widely cultivating plants in the world able to grow in many different types of environments and climates. How does it work? The phaseolamin vulgaris that is extracted acts as a powerful natural carbohydrate blocker by blocking alpha amylase, an enzyme that likes to convert the starch that is found in carbohydrate food into glucose. This blocking action also prevents starch from breaking down into dextrin which is also converted in glucose. Glucose can be used as energy , stored in the muscle or liver tissue as glycogen, or it can sent to the liver where it is converted into lipids which are then stored in the body as fat. By taking a phaseolamin extract, you ensure that some of the starches that we ingest to go right through our digestive systems instead of winding up as stored fat. Using white kidney bean bases carb blockers does come with some precautions however. In order to maintain an optimal level of health, it is important to have a good dietary control system in place. Also, some peoples body may react to the carb blocker by producing glucoamylase in lieu of alpha amylase. Glucoamylase will be able to pass through phaseolamin and wind up as fat. |
