They transfer information from one set of cells to another to coordinate the functions of different parts of the body. The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes).

Beans and legumes are truly a fountain of youth anti-inflammatory food because they are bursting with inflammation-reducing antioxidants and phytonutrients as well as being one of the richest sources of fiber on the planet.ot only are beans and legumes low in calories, high in nutrients, slowly digested and super satisfying, but nearly half of the starch in these âsuperfoodsâ comes from a special type of starch called âresistant starchâ that is not fully digested. Resistant starch is as close to a âmiracleâ starch as it gets.
Paleo incorrect: legumes are not antinutrients. The Paleo Diet claims that beans and lentils should be excluded from the diet because they contain antinutrients. Phytic acid (reduces some micronutrient absorption) is just as high in nuts as they are in legumes, and yet nuts are not excluded from Paleo.Tannins are just as high in wine, and oxalates are just as high in spinach, but these are not excluded from Paleo.alk about your own diet and its merits. Yes...The problem with beans are the antinutrients you talk about. You can't really eat most beans raw. There are some that if you eat them raw, they can cause mild stomach discomfort and some, like Kidney beans, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
