Beans as heart-friendly superfood, but Belgians don't eat enough of them

Beans are in the spotlight as a superfood with many health benefits, but in Belgium, consumption remains low. This is reported by HLN. According to nutritionist Michaël Sels, beans can not only contribute to a healthy diet but also benefit the heart.

Sels points out that beans are rich in fiber, protein, and various minerals. These properties can help lower cholesterol and improve blood circulation. However, many Belgians do not eat them often enough, even though they can be a good addition to the daily menu.

The expert advises including beans more often on the menu, for example in salads, soups, or as a side dish. This way, people can benefit from the advantages this food has to offer. HLN emphasizes that small adjustments in the diet can already make a big difference for overall health.
