The following are some healthy tips that you can use when buying and preparing beans:

When buying refried beans, make sure that the beans are marked as vegetarian, as these products do not contain lard.
When using canned beans, make sure to rinse the beans in a strainer upon opening them. This will reduce the sodium content of the beans by about 40 percent.
Do not forget that peas, string beans, and green beans are also members of the legume family. These options can be easily added to most dinners and salads to help you include beans into your diet.
Try to eat a variety of beans, as different bean colors means that different polyphenols are present. These phytonutrients have antioxidant properties and help to fight against free radicals.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
