Because of their wealth of nutrients, green beans are thought to help prevent many illnesses including Alzheimer's, colon cancer, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, acne, ear infections, and possibly even colds and flus.
One cup of green beans provides an incredible 155 percent of your daily value of vitamin K. Vitamin K is important for maintaining strong bones. One cup of green beans also supplies 20 percent your daily vitamin A and 16 percent of your daily vitamin C, both of which are good for heart health.
