Answer 3

Well if the more you eat, the better you feel...then obviously!  Haha although this is a clever childhood rhyme the fact is that they actually are very good for your heart. Beans are a great source of protein, the B group of vitamins, folic acid, iron and starch. They are also packed full of healthy fibre, which cuts down levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in your blood, thus protecting you from heart disease. Steven G Pratt, author of "SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life" says beans help reduce blood sugar, obesity and the risk of getting cancer. They also relieve hypertension. He recommends eating at least four half-cup servings of beans a week.
