Legumes, one of the cornerstones of the Longevity Diet, provide benefits in many areas from strengthening the immune system to environmentally friendly nutrition. Duru Gıda Nutrition Consultant Emine Uluçay emphasized the positive effects of legumes on human health and our planet on World Legumes Day. She drew attention to the importance of these foods by saying that legumes are frequently consumed in long-living communities such as Okinawa Island in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, and Ikaria in Greece. The Longevity Diet, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, stands out as a plant-based and low-protein nutrition model that supports a healthy life. This diet positions legumes as a basic food group along with whole grains, vegetables, and healthy oils such as olive oil.

“Regular Consumption of Legumes Protects Against Heart Diseases, Diabetes and Many Chronic Diseases”

Dietitian Emine Uluçay, Nutrition Consultant at Duru Gıda, states that legumes offer great benefits to individual health and the environment when consumed regularly, and adds: “Foods such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans support the intestinal microbiota with their high fiber and plant protein content, regulating the digestive system. They also delay cellular aging due to their strong antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. When consumed regularly, they provide protective effects against heart diseases, diabetes, and many chronic diseases.”

“The World’s Longest-Lived Communities Consume Pulses”

Emine Uluçay, who stated that legumes contribute not only to individual health but also to the future of the planet, said, “These foods, which have a low environmental impact compared to animal foods, are also one of the most important elements of sustainable nutrition. The fact that legumes are consumed as a basic protein source in the world's longest-living communities also strengthens the place of these foods in the Longevity Diet.”

On World Pulses Day, Duru Gıda draws attention to the value of pulses for human health and our soil. Combining traditional flavors with modern nutritional needs, Duru Gıda continues to offer healthy and reliable foods with its wide range of products, both classic pulse varieties and boiled Pratik products.
