There are various ways that beans work in the body to boost heart health. They lower cholesterol and blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of obtaining heart disease. They also keep insulin levels stable, which decreases the likelihood of getting diabetes and keeps the body running efficiently. On top of all that, they are filled with vitamins and nutrients that are good for the heart, mind, and body.

Beans can easily be put into salads, served on top of rice, or baked into countless soups or casseroles. Also, since they are so high in fiber and other nutrients, they count as a vegetable. At least five servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended to eat per day, so incorporating beans into a meal will add to the daily tally.
