Beans and peas are the only food that fit into two groups on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.Beans are in the Meat & Bean Group because they are a good source of protein and iron. Even better, they provide a low-fat, no saturated fat and no cholesterol source of protein. Beans are also in the Vegetable Group because they are a plant-based food. They aren\u2019t just any vegetable, they are a nutrient-rich powerhouse that provides an excellent source of fiber, and of folate, potassium, iron and antioxidants.Beans may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers; help maintain a healthy intestinal track; helps increase satiety. <\/p>\n

Eat With Color<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"rainbow<\/a><\/p>\n

An easy way to decide how to eat better is to eat right by color with an increased focus on plant based foods. Color your plate with these colors:<\/p>\n

Green produce have antioxidants<\/i> that may promote healthy vision and reduce cancer risks.Orange and deep yellow fruits and vegetables have nutrients that promote healthy vision and immunity and reduce the risk of some cancers.Purple and blue may have antioxidants<\/i> and anti-aging benefits and may help with memory, urinary tract health and reduced cancer risk.Red produce may help maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity and may reduce cancer risks.White, tan, and brown foods sometimes contain nutrients that may promote heath and reduce cancer risks<\/p>\n

Fiber: Nature\u2019s Secret Non-Nutrient<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

F<\/i><\/b>iber is not a nutrient since it doesn\u2019t dissolve in the digestive tract and never enters the bloodstream. But it\u2019s indispensable when trying to eat healthy. There are two types of fiber. Insoluble fiber (the rough stuff in whole wheat bread and broccoli) acts like a sponge by taking up water in the intestines and helps make stools bulky and soft. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"brocolli\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Then there is soluble fiber (like in the soluble-fiber powerhouse oatmeal, as well as in peas, dried beans , apples, oranges, carrots) that turns into a sticky gel in the intestines. It pulls cholesterol along with it as it moves through the body, preventing cholesterol from entering the bloodstream and clogging arteries. <\/p>\n

\"carrot<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Fiber has another benefit that makes it a valuable disease fighter: it passes slowly from the stomach to the intestines, which is a must if you are trying to control your weight since it makes you feel full<\/p>\n
