JAKARTA - Green beans are vegetables that are often used to complement the daily meal menu because they are easy to process and rich in nutrients. This food contains vitamins, minerals, and other fibers, which are often associated with a healthy diet.
However, behind these health benefits, it turns out that not everyone can consume green beans freely. Here are three groups of people who should limit their consumption of green beans, quoted from Verywell Health, Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
1. Blood thinners
People who have to regularly take blood thinners should not eat green beans. This is because green beans contain quite a lot of vitamin K.
Vitamin K plays a role in the blood clotting process, which is inversely proportional to the function of blood thinners. Excessive consumption of green beans will interfere with the effectiveness of the drug and affect the stability of the health condition.
2. High blood pressure sufferers
Someone who suffers from high blood pressure or hypertension needs to be more careful in choosing the type of green beans consumed. Canned green beans generally contain high amounts of sodium or salt.
English:
Excess sodium intake can increase blood pressure and worsen hypertension. Therefore, people with hypertension are advised to have fresh green beans or low-sodium versions, and their consumption is limited.
3. People with very sensitive digestive disorders
It is worth noting that green beans are low-FODMAP foods that are relatively safe for people with digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
However, for some people with very sensitive digestion, excessive consumption can still trigger bloating and discomfort in the stomach. So, limiting the portion of consumption of green beans is highly recommended for this group of people.
