Beans, Beans, They are good for your heart...and more
Why? Beans, including peanuts and peas (who knew?), are a few foods high on the to-eat list. They not only have a huge amount of needed protein and fiber, but they also have qualities and components that aid in the fight against breast cancer and diseases related to the heart. For women, they also serve to "stabilize female hormones," something everyone woman needs. They are especially helpful when a woman is trying to get pregnant as they supply an even better dose of folic acid.
How? Take Mom out to the ball game and nosh on some peanuts. It will be a great and tasty bonding experience, not to mention baseball players are cute! You can also try to implement beans by having a fiesta night. Using some rice, grilled chicken and fajita tortillas along with your beans is a great way to make a true Mexican dish. Also remember to order soybeans the next time you're out for sushi, they make a great low-cal appetizer!
