Beans
We decided that beans deserve their own category. Beans are part of the family of legumes, which also includes lentils, soybeans and peanuts, peas and green beans. These little super heroes are low in fat, high in fiber, rich in protein and provide multiple phytochemicals that can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Pears
Just like their apple companions, these appetizing and crunchy fruit gems are also a rich source of fiber, nutrients and antioxidants. This means pears can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and effectively reduce the risk of heart disease.
