Chickpeas Increase the Function of Bowel Health, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Garbanzo bean is also known as chickpea, an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to the Middle East.

According to the University of Tasmania, diet not only affects food choice, satiety but also has a profound influence on bowel health. 15 participants. who participated in the study tended to eat more processed snack foods (high energy, low fiber) after ceasing chickpea consumption(1).

In 27 free-living adults followed two randomized, crossover dietary interventions each of five weeks duration, Dr. Pittaway JK and research team said,"... significant decrease in serum TC and LDL-C during the chickpea diet compared to the equivalent fiber wheat diet was partly due to unintentional changes in macronutrient intake occurring because of chickpea ingestion"(2).

The effect of chickpea in the promotion of bowel health may be the result of a high amount of dietary fiber found in the peas. The study of the effectiveness of probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary fiber in the treatment of FGD in the pediatric population, suggested that the administration of a fiber supplement is more effective than a placebo for the treatment of childhood constipation(3).

In fact, Fiber undergoes partial or total fermentation after conscription in the distal small bowel and colon leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids and gas, thereby affecting gastrointestinal function and sensation, the University of Michigan Health System, insisted(4).

Taking all together, people who eat a portion of chickpea every day may improve gastrointestinal function, regardless of the type of diet.
