Eat More Beans to Help Lower Cholesterol

Try eating one-half cup of cooked dry beans every day to help lower total cholesterol levels. Beans are a good source of fiber and protein as well. An Agricultural Research Service study in North Dakota added to the already growing body of evidence that beans are healthy for the heart.

The Agriculture Research Service is the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s main scientific research agency. Lead authors for the study in North Dakota were chemist Philip Reeves and nutritionist John Finley. The study was conducted at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

A lipid profile provides a complete cholesterol count based on blood tests and is the biomarker for the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is considered to be a lifestyle-related disease. Positives changes in exercise and diet that improves the cholesterol profiles is considered to benefit the cardiovascular system.

There were 80 volunteers in this study. Ages were 18 to 55 years. Half of the volunteers were healthy and half had at least two symptoms that signaled a risk for cardiovascular disease. The study lasted for 12 weeks. Half of the group was randomly selected to eat one-half cup of cooked dry pinto beans daily along with a regular daily diet. The other half ate a replacement serving of chicken soup instead of the pinto beans. Results were:

• The healthy ones as well as those with symptoms, who ate pinto beans, saw a reduction in their cholesterol levels
• Findings confirm earlier studies that showed eating beans lowers cholesterol levels
• Why this is true requires further study

A new line of germplasm named “ABC-Weihing” is available for breeding high-yielding kinds of great northern beans that resist common bacterial blight. Bacterial blight is an endemic disease affecting bean crops east of the U.S. Continental Divide.

The ABC-Weihing was developed by Miklas and Carlos Urrea, University of Nebraska bean breeders, using marker-assisted selection. Detailed information on ABC-Weihing will be in an upcoming issue of “Crop Science.”

For additional ways to add good clean protein to your diet, you might like the Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder. This protein powder comes in chocolate and vanilla flavors. I am featuring the vanilla flavor here:

Plant Protein Vanilla Flavor

Plant Protein Vanilla Flavor

100% plant based



  • 14 g protein per serving
  • 100 calories per serving
  • Silky smooth texture


  • Our 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder is a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.

    At only 100 calories, it contains 14 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.

    Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

    While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.

    Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.

    With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.

    Let's Talk About Mushrooms and Their Health Benefits

    Mushrooms are less colorful than other fruits and vegetables and are often overlooked for their nutritional value as well.

    ChampignonMushroom

    Mushrooms are actually very nutrient dense providing a range of many essential minerals, nutrients and antioxidants that include:

    • Copper
    • B vitamins
    • Riboflavin
    • Niacin
    • Pantothenic acid
    • Antioxidants like selenium and ergothioneine

    White button mushrooms are an unrecognized source of vitamin D. One serving of 4 to 5 button mushrooms provides 15 IU of vitamin D.

    Many Americans do not get enough potassium. Mushrooms have almost 300 milligrams of potassium in each serving. The other good news about mushrooms is that one serving has only 20 calories and zero grams of fat.

    Of all the fruits and vegetables, mushrooms leads as a source of the mineral selenium. Selenium forms an antioxidant in the body that may help protect cells from damage. Chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease may be the result of cellular damage. There are long-term studies going on currently to investigate the potential role of selenium in cancer prevention.

    Another natural antioxidant found in mushrooms is ergothioneine. One serving contains about 3 to 4 milligrams of ergothioneine.

    What are some easy ways to include mushrooms in our diet?

    • Slice and sauté white button mushroom and sprinkle on top of a pizza, or toss into pasta or wrap in a quesadilla
    • Combine brown (crimini) mushrooms with beef, poultry or vegetable dishes
    • Add enoki mushrooms to sandwiches or soups
    • Maitakes have a unique aroma and woodsy flavor, add them to a main dish or side dish meal
    • Heated shiitakes provide richness and texture in vegetable dishes and meat-based dishes
    How do you select mushrooms?
    • Purchase mushrooms that are firm and have a fresh, smooth appearance
    • Check to see that the surfaces are “dry,” but not “dried out”
    • Mushrooms should appear plump
    • A closed veil under the cap indicates a delicate flavor
    • A open veil and exposed gills mean a richer flavor
    How should you store mushrooms?
    • Refrigerate mushrooms in the original package for up to a week
    • After opening, store mushrooms in a paper bag for longer shelf-life
    • Avoid storing opened mushrooms in airtight containers. Air tight containers will cause condensation and hasten spoilage.
    • Never freeze fresh mushroom
    • Frozen sautéed mushrooms will keep for up to a month

    How do you clean mushrooms?

    • Brush off dirt with a damp paper towel or fingers
    • Rinse fresh mushrooms briefly under running water and pat dry with a paper towel
    • Never soak mushrooms
    • Trim the end of the stem before using

    If you are a fan of eating mushrooms, and to enhance your already healthy lifestyle, as well as to help you get the recommended amount of daily vegetables and fruits in your diet, you might also like the Life's Abundance Greens Blend Supplement:

    Is Juicing Right for You?

    Home Juicing has become popular recently. Is it good for you? Some people may like to juice due to recent trends of "juice cleansing," "juice detoxing" or "juicing to lose weight."

    Marketvegetables

    According to dietary guidelines for Americans 2010, reports say most Americans over the age of four years are not eating enough fruits and vegetables and do not get enough dietary fiber and other important minerals such as folate, potassium, magnesium or vitamins A, C, and K in their diet. Fruits and vegetables are also a great source of folate important for women who may become pregnant.

    Juicing is one way to add more fruits and/or veggies into your daily diet. The DGA recommends the majority of fruit intake come from whole fruits that include canned, frozen and dried forms. Juicing is one way to increase your nutrient intake and take in a variety of fruits and vegetables that you may not normally eat such as kale and spinach.

    You should NEVER rely on juicing as your sole source of fruit or vegetable intake. You also need to watch out for extra sugar intake. Some juicing recipes include added sugars like sugar, honey, maple syrup or molasses. Most Americans today need to reduce intake of added sugars. To avoid the extra sugar, choose juicing recipes that do not include these ingredients or use non-caloric sweeteners instead.

    Juicing alone will NOT provide all the nutrients you need daily. Juicing can be a good way to introduce new fruits and vegetables into your diet, but a diet containing only the nutrients from fruits and vegetables is missing major nutrients. For example, protein and fat will need to be obtained from other foods. Vitamin D, Calcium and iron will also need to be in the diet from other sources of food. When you remove the skin and pulp to create juicing recipes you also loose a fair amount of fiber.

    If you choose to juice, be sure to incorporate it into a healthy eating plan that includes foods from a variety of sources such as:

    • whole grains
    • fat free or low-fat milk and milk products
    • protein foods
    Also, there are differences between a juice and a smoothie. A smoothie typically contains fruits and/or vegetables as well as other ingredients such as milk, yogurt or protein powder.

    A smoothie often contains many different ingredients that may include:

    • flaxseed
    • green tea
    • kefir
    • herbs
    • and more
    Smoothies are another "option" of increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables.

    Juicing on the other hand typically includes just the fruit and/or vegetable that has been made into a liquid form. Some juicers remove fiber from the whole fruit or vegetable, which in turn, removes an important nutrient. Many Americans need more fiber in their diets.

    Juicing does not necessarily help you lose weight. The finished product may contain considerable amounts of calories. To maintain body weight, you have to "burn" the same amount of calories that you consume. If you take in more calories than you use, this leads to weight gain.

    You should always talk to your doctor before juicing especially if you have diabetes or kidney disease. You may need to limit or monitor your intake of certain nutrients such as carbohydrates, potassium or phosphorous. Adding certain fruits or vegetables may not be recommended.

    Does juicing detoxify your body? To date, there is no evidence that juicing is a detox solution. 

    Juicing machines can also be expensive. (source: https://www.nutrition.gov/subject/shopping-cooking-meal-planning/juicing-101)

All health concerns should be addressed by a qualified health care professional. The article content is offered as a resource for healthier lifestyles.

    If you like the idea of juicing, you might also like the Life's Abundance Greens Blend Supplement to add to your already healthy eating diet. Life's Abundance Greens Blend mixes well with 8 ounces of water in a shaker bottle. You have no need to buy an expensive juicer. Plus you will be taking in nutrients you normally might not even think of to eat or have readily available to you. Our Greens Blend is also low in calories. You don't have to worry about taking in extra sugar and calories.

    Our Greens Blend nourishes your body with a blend of raw, certified-organic grasses plus certified, organic mushrooms.

    Our organic raw greens are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you're getting the best quality greens. Because they are raw, they retain more nutrients than cooked greens.

    At only 25 calories per serving, this nutrient dense supplement is a simple way to help you consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. As always, before you make changes to your diet or add supplements, please consult with your personal physician first.

    Ginger Spice is Good Medicine

    Ginger comes from the root of a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. Ginger is grown in the native to warmer part of Asia such as China, Japan and India. Plants grown in the Middle East are used as medicine with food. We can also find Ginger plants growing in parts of South America and Africa.

    Ginger Plant vs
    Ginger in China 01

    I read a lot about the health benefits of different spices. In fact, I use a little less than 1/4 teaspoon of organic powder ginger root every morning in my warm lemon and raw honey drinks. I read in countless places some of the possible health benefits related to this spice are:

    • an effective pain reliever from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, menstrual pain
    • helps to reduce nausea including motion sickness
    • helps to control inflammation
    • counters the activities of cell damaging free radicals
    • acts a blood thinner
    • helps to protect brain cells from deterioration associated with Alzheimer's Disease

    If you like the idea of including spices into your daily diet for health benefits you might also like the Life's Abundance Multivitamin. This multivitamin contains a PROPRIETARY SPICE BLEND.

    Life's Abundance Multivitamins

    PROPRIETARY SPICE BLEND


    Turmeric (root)

    An antioxidant and the spice that gives curry its yellow color.

    Ginger extract (root)

    An antioxidant rich spice.

    Holy basil extract (leaf)

    A powerful antioxidant that is often used in ayurvedic medicine.

    Cayenne pepper (fruit)

    Contains capsicum and linked to metabolism.

    Cinnamon extract (bark)

    An antioxidant rich spice.

    Clove powder (stem)

    Contains phytonutrients and flavonoids. A great source of manganese, vitamin K and good source of iron, magnesium and calcium.

    Oregano extract (leaf)

    Contains the antioxidant, rosmarinic acid.

    Rosemary extract (aerials)

    Rich source of antioxidant, it contains carnosic acid.

    Bioperine® black pepper fruit extract

    Enhances absorption of nutrients from the intestine including vitamin C, selenium, beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B-6 and coenzyme Q.

    Unfortunately, four out of five people don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals through food alone. That's why supplementing your diet with a multivitamin is so important.

    To ensure a balance between getting just enough and not overdoing it, we formulated our Life’s Abundance Multivitamin. This unique supplement provides you with a focused approach to daily wellness. That’s important because instead of bombarding your body with an endless list of vitamins and minerals, like other dietary supplements, we included only the nutrients you need for optimal health and nothing you don’t. Plus the proprietary spice blend and black pepper fruit extract in this supplement, supply you with an additional nutrition boost.

    This multivitamin supplement is in vegan-friendly, veggie capsules that do not contain magnesium stearate. The capsules are made from cellulose, which not only helps protect sensitive ingredients but also breaks down and delivers nutrients more quickly than the compressed tablets you can find on store shelves.

    Life’s Abundance Multivitamin is a wise choice for those who wish to take a sensible, focused approach to daily supplementation!

    Superfoods to Help Keep Your Arteries Clear and Your Heartbeat Stable

    I eat oatmeal as my first meal every day and I enjoy it. Oatmeal has been known to absorb cholesterol. Rolled oats are good, but steel-cut oats are even better. Steel-cut oats are less likely to cause spikes in blood sugar according to experts from the Harvard School of Public Health. Good to know news!

    These experts also say over time, having long periods of high blood sugar can lead to health problems linked to heart disease such as obesity and diabetes. (source: Harvard Heart Letter from Harvard Medical School)

    Here are some superfoods for overall heart health, eat plenty of:

    • peanuts
    • walnuts
    • pecans
    • pistachios
    • any kind of tree nut is a superfood for healthy hearts
    A diet full of tree nuts helps lower harmful LDL cholesterol and raise protective HDL cholesterol. They also help to lower blood pressure.

    Common-nuts

    At Life's Abundance we emphasize "eating healthy" first and then using our supplements to enhance your already healthy diet.

    Another great product to help you with overall good health is a high quality fish oil supplement. Not all fish oil supplements are created equal. The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.



    In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

    Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.

    You can follow the links on the Life's Abundance site and see the results from the IFOS of each batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil. You can be sure you are getting a high quality fish oil supplement, clean and clear of contaminants.

    Help Stop a Stroke!

    It might just be the truth. What you say? What is the truth? That eating a "tomato" a day keeps the heart doctor away." That is what a study of 1,000 middle-aged men revealed. The study revealed that lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant is abundant in tomatoes. Lycopene is said to reduce a risk of blood-clot related strokes by 59%. Hard to believe, isn't it? What will they reveal to us next?

    Well....other studies of lycopene tells us this powerful antioxidant is also effective in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

    If you are one looking to nourish your body in every way possible and perhaps in some of the simplest ways as well, you might like the Life's Abundance Greens Blend. This Greens Blend taste delicious in a Berry flavor. Surprised? I was pleasantly surprised.

    You would think a Greens Blend that tells you it has raw certified organic grasses as ingredients would taste "grassy" or something. Nope. This one is different. It taste delicious. You won't even realize you are drinking a health drink and will look forward to the special treat of this smooth, berry tasting drink.

    Drinking your greens and nourishing your body could not get any easier.

    At Life's Abundance, we recommend you to eat a healthy diet in every way you can, eat as many nourishing vegetables and fruits per day that you most possibly can. Then, when all is said and done in a day's time, grab a shaker bottle, add 8 ounces of water and a scoop of this Life's Abundance Greens Blend to further enhance your already healthy diet. You will love it, and best of all, your body will thank you for the added nourishment, which in turns gives you a healthier lifestyle and hopefully longer life to enjoy the things that matter to you most.

    Raw, certified-organic grasses





  • Certified-organic mushrooms
  • Delicious berry flavor
  • No “grassy” taste


  • Our Greens Blend nourishes your body with a blend of raw, certified-organic grasses plus certified, organic mushrooms.

    Our organic raw greens are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you're getting the best quality greens. Because they are raw, they retain more nutrients than cooked greens.

    To boost this formula’s nutrient value, we added a certified organic blend of reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms to provide a vegetarian source of iron and B vitamins, and also a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

    Life’s Abundance Greens Blend has a delicious-yet-subtle berry flavor and silky smooth texture. It mixes easily with water or into your favorite smoothie. It is one of the best tasting GMO-free greens blends on the market and leaves no "grassy" aftertaste.

    At only 25 calories per serving, this nutrient dense supplement is a simple way to help you consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

    Foods to Help Control High Blood Pressure

    Help to control your blood pressure by eating foods rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium. If you are a person eating a lot of processed and canned foods as well as people taking certain kinds of medication you might have a need to be concerned. Those people who eat a healthy diet rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium should have not much to worry about.

    Enjoy more of the foods that have two or more minerals that help control blood pressure:

    Canned White Beans: 1/2 cup of canned white beans has 595 milligrams of potassium, 67 mg of magnesium and 96 mg calcium

    Cooked Halibut: Has 490 mg of potassium and 91 mg of magnesium.

    Cooked Spinach: 1/2 cup of cooked spinach has 419 mg potassium, 78 mg of magnesium and 146 mg of calcium. (source: Harvard Heart Letter from Harvard Medical School)

    Stay faithful to an exercise routine, especially walking. Twenty minutes per day on most days of the week should be sufficient for good heart health and to help keep your blood pressure down.

    Supplement your diet with Life's Abundance daily multivitamins to be sure you are getting what you need daily.

    Unfortunately, four out of five people don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals through food alone. That's why supplementing your diet with a multivitamin is so important.

    To ensure a balance between getting just enough and not overdoing it, we formulated our Life’s Abundance Multivitamin. This unique supplement provides you with a focused approach to daily wellness. That’s important because instead of bombarding your body with an endless list of vitamins and minerals, like other dietary supplements, we included only the nutrients you need for optimal health and nothing you don’t. Plus the proprietary spice blend and black pepper fruit extract in this supplement, supply you with an additional nutrition boost.

    This multivitamin supplement is in vegan-friendly, veggie capsules that do not contain magnesium stearate. The capsules are made from cellulose, which not only helps protect sensitive ingredients but also breaks down and delivers nutrients more quickly than the compressed tablets you can find on store shelves.

    Life’s Abundance Multivitamin is a wise choice for those who wish to take a sensible, focused approach to daily supplementation!
