Benefits of eating hummus

DNA WEB DESK

Hummus is a savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with lemon, juice and garlic. Hummus is great choice for vegetarians to have as it's high in protein content which will keep you full and also reduce your hunger levels as well.

Eating hummus will also keep your bones healthy and strong as it's a rich source of calcium. 

Start including hummus in your diet as it can also be effective towards reducing inflammation in the body.

Hummus is loaded with fibre which means it supports good digestion and may promote the growth of healthy bacteria as well. 

As hummus is made from chickpeas, which have low glycemic index, they help control blood sugar levels. Thus, becomes a very good option for diabetics to have.

Hummus is packed with antioxidants and monounsaturated (good) fats which lowers your LDL cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
