Fertility
For women of child-bearing age, consuming more iron from plant sources such as spinach, beans, pumpkin and green beans appears to promote fertility, according Harvard Medical School's Harvard Health Publications. Adequate folic acid intake is also needed for pregnant women in order to protect their infants against neural tube defects. One cup of green beans provides approximately 10% of daily folic acid needs and 6% of iron.
Depression
Meeting your daily folate needs may also help with depression. Adequate folate consumption can prevent an excess of homocysteine in the body, which prevents blood and other nutrients from reaching the brain. Excess homocysteine can interfere with the production of the feel-good hormones serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate mood, sleep and even appetite.
Bone health
Low intakes of vitamin K have been associated with a higher risk for bone fracture. Adequate vitamin K consumption improves bone health by acting as a modifier of bone matrix proteins, improving calcium absorption and reducing urinary excretion of calcium.
One cup of green beans provides 14.4 micrograms of vitamin K (almost 20% of daily need) as well as 4% of calcium.
