Protein-Rich Legumes

As you consider how to eat healthy, don't forget an important food group that often gets forgotten -- legumes (aka beans). You should consume these daily. 
Protein-rich legumes such as beans or lentils are high quality carbohydrates that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and soluble fiber. Soluble fiber when combined with water forms a gel like substance that swells and slows down the digestive process. This delays the emptying the stomach to make you feel full longer. This also results in a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Some of the best sources of legumes are black beans, navy beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, white beans, lima beans, garbanzo beans, split peas, and hummus.
