Beans
Beans, beans, the magical fruit… the more you eat the more you… oh, never mind. For starters, this children’s rhyme is a bit inaccurate since beans belong to the legume family, alongside soybeans, lentils, green beans, peanuts, and peas. This tiny, multicolored superfood has unrivaled levels of fiber and protein, and they are also low in fat. They contain important phytochemicals that help guard against the onset of heart disease.
Pears
Pears possess a lot of similarities to their friendly cousin, apples. Pears are a deliciously sweet and hydrating choice for dieters looking for a snack high in fiber, nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants. While we all know the phrase, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” a pear a day has the potential to do the same, if not more! Pears help to reduce high blood pressure and high cholesterol and also lower the body’s chances of developing heart disease.
