AMA Says Legumes & Raw Nuts Improve Heart
A report from the American Heart Association’s Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, has found that eating beans and other legumes at least four times a week lowered heart disease incidence by 19%, compared to those who ate legumes less than once a week. There are cardiovascular health benefits for those who increase non-meat protein sources to their diet. Eating a diet rich in raw, salt-free nuts and beans improved blood lipid levels, in a clinical test of 25 to 74 year old participants.
Legumes are high-quality protein sources that are low in fat, high in dietary fiber and cholesterol free. In addition, legumes provide iron, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, potassium and B vitamins. Legumes have been consumed for more than 10,000 years and are a versatile, healthy food. The most common and popular legume is the soybean and other rich legumes include the black-eyed peas, chickpeas, lentils, black, red, white, navy and kidney beans. Just a cup of cooked dried beans as a source of protein, counts as meat in the meat group category of the Food Guide Pyramid. Legumes are also a healthy, delicious meat alternative in chili, pasta dishes, burritos, tostados, salads and blend to make delicious spreads and dips.
The dietary fiber found in beans has been shown over the years to decrease heart disease risks and help lower blood cholesterol levels by binding bile while decreasing intestinal transit time.

The Discovery of Health
Health has sometimes been defined as physical unconsciousness. Not all physical unconsciousness is health, but the greatest compliment we can pay to the functioning of our body is to be unaware of it because it is running so smoothly. Most young people do not realize there is such a thing as health because when young, most have it in abundance.
With the passage of years, however, we tend to become aware, thus more health-conscious. The adage is so often true that says: You spend your Health to gain your Wealth. In later life, its reverse proves true: You spend your Wealth to regain your Health. The health-conscious person usually becomes so only after getting sick, and we are of the opinion that most people over 50 are a little sick. There would be no such thing as health if it were not for the lack of it. Most people begin to discover health’s existence just when they need it the most. While health consciousness may be the result of impaired vitality, let us suggest this applies only to the common variety of health and health consciousness.
Invest in Your “Health Bank” for Comfort, Security and Happiness
Higher Health is essentially conscious or rather, it’s conscious of its unconsciousness. It is health pride – something you should truly cherish. It’s a will and a desire manifestation to live a long, happy, active and healthy life.
Can you think of any greater comfort, security and happiness than that of perpetual sound health? Or that any of your loved ones need never be stricken with an early death from heart disease? Or that no one need die at an early age, unless by an unfortunate accident?
The unexamined life is not worth living. It is a time to re-evaluate your past as a guide for a bright future.
