FOOD FACT FRIDAY🍎🥑🥕
__
Legumes are a class of vegetables that includes beans, lentils, and peas. Eating legumes gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to protein and vegetable benefits!
__
They are packed with protein, iron, zinc, things that you’d expect from other protein-rich foods like meat, but also are packed with things you typically only find in the vegetable kingdom like fiber, folate, and potassium.
__
Bonus points for being naturally low in saturated fat and sodium, having one of the lowest glycemic index and NO cholesterol!
__
One recent study found that eating just a cup of beans, chickpeas, or lentils each day for three months could slow a person’s resting heart rate as much as spending 250 hours on a treadmill! A major factor in reducing the risk of dying prematurely! 😳
