Navy Beans Offer Potential Health Boost for Colon Cancer Patients

Consider adding this food to your diet to improve gut health.

A recent clinical trial has revealed that incorporating navy beans into the diet of colon cancer survivors could significantly enhance their health.

Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's trial showed that participants who added a cup of navy beans to their regular meals experienced positive changes in their gut microbiome.

Navy beans, small and white, are rich in gut-supporting fibers, amino acids, and various nutrients that promote the flourishing of beneficial gut bacteria. The alterations observed in the participants' gut microbiome have been linked to potential cancer prevention and improved treatment outcomes, according to Health Day.
