Beans have many health benefits eg in heart disease for reducing homocysteine levels, stabilizing blood sugar levels, anti-inflammatory effects, and from the high fiber content, assisting elimination of excess hormones, cholesterol, toxins and carcinogens.

We cooked some yummy food too, including:
- cannellini bean and basil dip
- lentil and caper pate
- coconut and coriander dahl served with chickpea pancakes
- Moroccan bean stew
What a filling lunch that was! I don't think any went home hungry and we got our 35+g of fiber today, just in one meal!

And we restrained from the black bean brownies and not-so-dumb blondies this time!
Next time we will be focussing on fats, oils, essential fatty acids and the effects they have on our health.
