What four letter food is associated with reduced blood pressure and body fat?
Fill in the Blank
Blank consumption—four letters—is associated with greater nutrient intake, reduced blood pressure, lower body weight, and a slimmer waist—all things that most Americans could use.
Let’s fill in the blank.
Are beans the answer to Americans’ health problems? Beer? Beef? Beets? Dates? Corn? Chai tea? Cake consumption is probably a stretch. What about fish? Flax? Lime? Milk? Plums? Rice? Mass taco consumption? Or wine?
And the superfood answer is… Could still be beer. Bean consumption: more nutrients, and better blood pressure, weight, and waist control.
