The risk of problems like type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol increases as we reach middle age. You can reduce that risk by adding beans to your daily diet. You can reduce your bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 5% if you eat 344 cups of beans or lentils each day. Diabetes patients can also benefit from beans by improving their blood sugar levels.
Beans and lentils come in an amazing range, so you should be able to find a variety that you enjoy. Canning foods are really high in sodium, so ensure you rinse them before eating if you decide to eat canned beans.
