Pinto Beans are Heart Healthy

by laurel on December 5, 2007

ChefMD® wrote that pinto beans reduce cholesterol and are good for your heart.  A new study from the Journal of Nutrition found that adults who eat at least one serving of pinto beans a day for three months achieved significant reductions in their cholesterol.  The best news is that the majority of cholesterol reduced was LDL (bad) cholesterol.  The published study reported that consuming pinto beans can improve lipid profiles (reduced risk of cardiovascular disease).

ChefMD® pointed out that many beans are very healthy for you because, in addition to lowering cholesterol, they are packed with fiber, vitamins, and proteins.  Check out his recipe for Two Bean Chili with Onions.
