The 10 Healthiest Foods on the Planet: #10

Ok. This is the last superfood. Hopefully you've tried some and just maybe you'll add them to your Thanksgiving dinner! Hmmm... was sweet potato pie on the list?

Beans


Why They're Healthy:
• Eating a serving of legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) four times a week can lower your risk of heart disease by 22 percent.
• That same habit may also reduce your risk of breast cancer.

Quick Tip:
The darker the bean, the more antioxidants it contains. One study found that black bean hulls contain 40 times the amount of antioxidants found in white bean hulls.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
