Prevents/Treats Diabetes

Locust beans are capable of reducing your risk of diabetes. In recent studies, it was discovered that there is a significant relationship between the aqueous and methanolic extracts of locust beans and cholesterol levels. That is, the natural condiment is effective in increasing the levels of ‘good’ HDL cholesterol while lowering that of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol in the body.

In a similar study published in the journal, Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology, and Physiology, it was shown that the blood sugar-lowering the effect of locust beans could be likened to the one exhibited by glibenclamide, a reference anti-diabetic drug.

Additionally, some set of researchers at the Department of Chemical Pathology, College of Health Sciences Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Osogbo, discovered that locust beans is not only good for protecting against some diabetes complications but also helps in accelerating weight loss and reducing the risk of ischaemic heart diseases.

Treats hypertension.

Hypertension, otherwise known as high blood pressure, occurs when the pressure of blood pumped through the arteries is relatively higher than expected. One thing about this health condition is that it is a silent killer, meaning you may never be aware that you have it even for several years unless you go for checkups.

Consumption of locust beans has been said to prevent and treat hypertension. This is because the seeds of the condiment are found to be rich in antihypertensive properties. The leaves of locust beans also contain procyanidin, another component proven to be effective in lowering blood pressure in humans. Contact for yours in dried and powder forms.
