In addition to lowering cholesterol, kidney beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia.Kidney beans' contribution to heart health lies not just in their fiber, but in the significant amounts of folate and magnesium these beans supply.If you're wondering how to replace red meat in your menus, become a fan of kidney beans. These hearty beans are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods without the high calories or saturated fat found in these foods.So what are you waiting for a delicious healthy recipe is on your way....relish and stay healthy.

Zero Oil Vegetable Soup


Zero oil vegetable soup is a very delicious and healthy soup. Good for the weight watcher and heart healthy too. You can  take and mix any vegetable of your choice. I just suggest  few which I like.One caution while choosing the vegetables if you are pregnant or planning such then skip raw papaya. The Papaya latex's main constitiuants are papain and chymopapain which have teratogenic (abnormalities of physiological development) and abortifacient (Can induce an abortion) effects . It does this by increasing the chances of uterine contractions as the papain acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin which are known to put a mothers body into labour and hence an adverse effect on the babies and mothers health. I just want all my readers to stay safe healthy and happy. I am sure you all will like this completely oil free comfy soup. Enjoy.



Zero Oil Vegetable Soup

Ingredients
  • 2 carrots cubes
  • 4 to 6 okra cut into halves
  • 4 to 6 big chunks of bottle gourd with or without skin
  • 4 to 6 big chunks of skinless raw papaya
  • 2 to 3 baby potatoes optional
  • 6 to 7 french beans head and tail off and then cut into big pieces
  • 1 big tomato cut into chunks
  • 1 big onion cut into chunks
  • 3 to 4 garlic clove
  • 1 inch fresh ginger chopped
  • hand full of chopped fresh coriander and mint leaves
  • 1/2 tsp whole cumin
  • 1/2 tsp whole coriander
  • 1 to 2 tsp lemon juice
  • to taste salt and pepper
