Enhance heart health

Black-eyed peas may help lower various risk factors for heart disease, so including them in a balanced diet is a great approach to maintaining a strong and healthy heart. Regular consumption of beans was associated with reduced levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, both of which can contribute to heart disease, in one evaluation of 10 trials.

A low-calorie diet supplemented with 1 cup of beans per day for 6 weeks, as opposed to a control group, significantly lowered waist circumference, triglyceride levels, and blood pressure in 42 women, according to another research. Consuming legumes frequently has also been linked to lowered inflammation-related biomarkers, which may also help lessen your risk of heart disease.
