Superfoods #9 - Legumes

 

9. Legumes

"Legumes like beans and lentils are a great addition to the diet because they are packed with satiating protein and fiber.

For example, one cup of boiled lentils packs in 18 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber," says Burgess. "They are also loaded with a class of nutrients called flavonoids. Recent research has proven these flavonoids to be helping in maintaining our brain health long-term," she continues, recommending people add beans and legumes to quinoa salads, blend into healthier dips or stir into bean curry.
