In terms of TCM, navy beans are sweet in flavor and warm in temperature. They help to tonify qi and blood, as well as regulate qi and blood circulation. Unfortunately there is no information available about which channels they enter, but since they may help with diabetes and memory decline the editor has chosen to designate them as entering the spleen and kidney.
For memory decline eat a bowl of memory tonic soup each day by combining equal parts of navy beans, black beans, kidney beans, rosemary, thyme, and turmeric. For diabetes incorporate navy beans (as well as other legumes) to help balance blood sugar. For anemia eat a hearty bowl of white chili each day, made with navy beans, ground chicken, and chopped parsley. [22]
