Beans

Beans are one of the menu items that all the longest lived healthiest people on the planet have in common. They have tremendous healing power. They're high in protein, low in calories, rich in phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, and most of all, fiber. (Want to know how to get more fiber in your diet? Simple: eat beans!) Especially rich in antioxidants are red, black, kidney, adzuki and pinto beans. And some studies show that eating even two portions a week reduces the risk of cancer.
