Beans help your body produce hyaluronic acid (skin)

Julie_23 — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 06:55:43 GMT

I recently was reading some on foods and found that eating beans helps your body produce hyaluronic acid. The very thing that is often sought in a cream. (I have seen it mentioned in a few places when reading about food/skin/collagen. That's where I came across beans in regards to hyaluronic acid.)

Found it interesting and thought maybe someone else might, too.

Another reason to eat some beans!

Thanks, I enjoy info like this.

I do make a huge vat of turkey chilli or at times beef chilli with 3 kinds of beans in it and the chilli is most all beans but hubby my son who comes over weekly [I give him tons to take back] can't tell there are that many beans it it...only when we have gas! haha!

I then eat the leftovers (like 2 times that week). I will continue to make it now. Good to know! It's better then putting on skin, I heard some neg things about pure HA on skin long term and had bought a 150 bottle of it and now am wary! I like it in my serums but not alone anymore.

Great news...I love beans. I think they make a good diet food because they stay with you and you don't get hungry right away.

That is really interesting.

I am using capsules of it and I think it helps with joint pain.It is an anti-inflammatory. Our bodies produce it naturally but I guess sometimes we can use more of it.

I had tried it before and didn't think it did anything but this time it really does (and I am taking 2, 100mg a day as directed on the bottle instead of 1 as before).

No wonder I can crave beans sometimes! womansurprised:

I think sometimes our bodies can tell us what we need by those "cravings."

Thanks for sharing that @Julie_23

beans, beans, the musical fruit....

I've been around 12 year old boys for too long, and that includes DH (arrested development). Maybe we are well suited in that way, lol.

I enjoy 4 bean salad and will often add some to green salads.

Yes, I get cravings for beans as well; good to know that this is healthful.

@maestra~

that is cute

Your four bean salad reminds me of 3-bean salad which I've forgotten about and love that.

I'll have to get some next time I'm in the store.

I will have to write things down that I like so I don't forget

Thanks for posting this information. I just made a Crockpot full of Great Northern and seasoned with sea salt, pepper, and smoky paprika.

Next I am going to make a Crockpot full of navy beans along with a ham bone (from Aldi's spiral-cut) from last Friday.

Funny thing is, I too have been craving beans, and just figured it was because it was a comfort food! If it helps build your integumentary system, that's a huge bonus. (plus it is a low fat/high protein/low cost food)

People who live in the Blue Zones eat beans everyday. Beans are considered a superfood by many, including myself. It's a myth that "the more you eat, the more you....". In fact, the more you eat, the more your gut will get used to the fiber and that is a good thing.

Better-half is planning to make a batch of his signature chili this weekend. He uses at least three beans in it: Red kidney, cannellini (white kidney) and black. Pinto beans have made guest appearances in the past.

For some reason his chili reminds me of my mother's pasta sauce. And that's comforting.

It made me happy seeing that people found this post interesting and helpful. (I love reading about things like this, too.) But, I was a little worried when I posted it. Thanks for the replies!

Have a good night!

Makes me happy to see nutrition used as a beauty aid.

Health, wellness & beauty is all about the food, yes?!

Beans...and LOTS of other foods have hyaluronic acid.

Taters! Taters, my love! the loveable spud to the rescue again!

"Starchy vegetables like potatoes and sweet potatoes have tons of hyaluronic acid as well as other nutrients the body needs such as magnesium and potassium."

Here's a snapshot of an article which sums up the hyaluronic acid

benefits in certain foods.

ALSO...go to YouTube & search, 'Connie Chung Hyaluronic Acid'

and watch the 9 minute video mentioned in this article.

Excellent post @sidsmom!

Love my tofu and roots. Those were staples in my Japanese diet growing up.

Give me some ideas for leftover rice....

Been watching MommyTang on YouTube & she has cool ways to incorporate leftover rice...boiling it to a Porridge consistency & adding carrot/potato/squash...flattening it on a skillet & let it get brown & crunchy...even just pouring cold water over it & eating it like a cold soup. She's Korean, so these may be some customs of that country...but give me some insight/ideas from your younger days!

Tofu...I like to eat it already in a prepared dish, but never have cooked with it. I bought a container of firm tofu last week...and it's still staring at me. Ha. Why am I scared to use it? I was thinking marinating it in a miso/honey/sesame seed liquid the just dry frying it to brown-crispy stage. Good?

Hijack alert!

@sidsmom,

One meal I love is made with broccoli, tofu, garlic, ginger and rice. It's considered a fried rice dish. There are many versions of this popular dish. Look for "fried rice with tofu and broccoli". I like to add eggs to mine as an added protein and I use white rice from the Asian market. Most recipes you'll find are simple and yummy! Enjoy!

If you have access to an Asian market, be sure to pick up some "takuan". It's a pickled radish root that is tasty on it's own or as a side to your rice dishes. It is known to help aid in digestion and is often eaten at the end of a meal.

All the foods we mention are high in HA, so munch away to beautiful skin!

Have y'all heard of an online website

for heirloom beans called "Rancho Gordo"?

My veg boards sing the praises of these heirloom beans

saying their creamier & more tasty than even organic....
