The researchers found that the pulse-based diet decreased total cholesterol by 8.3 percent, making it an “effective” choice for cholesterol reduction.
How many pulses should I eat?
Shortt said: “In a meta-analysis (review of multiple clinical trials), results showed that LDL cholesterol was reduced by five percent when 130g of pulses were eaten per day.
“This equates to eating one-third of a can of beans each day.
“I would regularly substitute red meat for pulses, as they are a great option for adding texture and variety to meals.”
