Pulses and Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Health Benefits of Pulses

Abstract

Pulses offer health benefits, and their favorable nutrient composition has the potential to improve diet quality. In developing countries, pulses improve nutrient intakes of populations at risk of consuming a diet of poor quality. In developed nations, pulses have been recommended as an integral component of a healthful dietary pattern. Epidemiological and interventional studies have provided insight into the benefits of pulse intake related to the prevention and management of chronic disease. This chapter discusses the evidence from human studies regarding the effects of pulse consumption on cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cancer risk. In addition, the novel application of a pulse-based diet in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome and the importance of pulses in maintaining the wellbeing of persons living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome are highlighted. Emerging evidence related to pulse consumption, improved diet quality, and decreased burden of chronic disease support translational efforts to promote pulses as health-enhancing, sustainable food sources globally.
