Eating more legumes (AKA pulses) has been shown to be so beneficial to our health and is an area that I definitely need to improve in. Benefits include:
✔️They’re high in dietary fibre, helping to keep us regular ?, and improve our gut microbiota.
✔️The soluble fibre in legumes helps to lower total and bad cholesterol levels.
✔️Legumes have a low glycemic index which has positive effects on blood sugar levels and satiety.
✔️They contain a good amount of protein. ?? ✔️Legumes are rich in B group vitamins, zinc, iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
✔️They’re a good source of antioxidants ❤️

They’re super easy to include in your diet in loads of different ways. Here’s some ideas.
