Beans

Beans can be considered a super food because they are economical, readily available and a low fat source of protein, carbohydrates, magnesium and potassium. They are a good source of fiber which helps lower cholesterol levels, maintain healthy colon function and reduce the risk for constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticular disease. The versatile bean is a substitute for meat in vegetarian diets as well as a nutritious side dish or addition to soups and salads.
