The one food you definitely should be eating more of??
Everyone’s out here trying to eat more protein and more fibre and yet this checks both those off in one food 👀
Legumes are eaten DAILY in all 5 Blue Zones (areas of the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives, often to 100 years or older)!
Here’s why legumes are so good for you:
✔️ Packed with fibre (great for your gut health + blood sugar control)
✔️ Second meal effect means even lowers blood sugar spikes at your NEXT meal
✔️ Plant-based protein that supports metabolic health
✔️ Low in saturated fat + super filling
✔️ Shown to reduce risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even some cancers
