Eating Beans Can Protect Your Heart

People who ate legumes (peas, lentils, and beans) four times a week had a 22 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease than those who ate them only once a week, a study found. That’s because legumes add fiber to your diet and can lower your cholesterol and blood pressure. Toss them in a salad, serve them as a side dish, or enjoy them in a soup!
