Nutrition
- Do you have trouble keeping portion sizes in check? To help reduce your portion sizes, use smaller plates and bowls. Soup can also help you eat fewer calories if you are trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain. Choose broth-based soups rich in vegetables and pulses if you are trying to lose weight. Add extra olive oil and avocado if you want to gain weight.
- Having ¼ cup of green peas and other legumes daily has been linked to a lower risk of stomach cancer. This may be due to coumestrol, a compound found in green peas that has antioxidant effects.
