I mean, I didn't eat... Sorry, Camilla.

You know, we all know my mum's like our number one fan of the wellness group.

I don't think we ever ate... I don't know if she... I'm sure she'd eaten like hummus in a restaurant type thing.

But I don't think we ever once...

Yeah, or like bean soups, like a ribollita type soup with beans and exactly.

And as you said, they're so cheap and they're so good.

They've got magnesium, potassium, zinc, some iron and things like lentils.

And they're often paired with our tomatoes, etc.

So it's amazing for the iron absorption.

It's really interesting anyway this was research again looking at things like the Mediterranean diet the mind diet that we've talked about before which are also well researched showing again this association with including things like beans through these diets and better long term brain health lower dementia risk.

There was a study that's published in neurology that involved more than 130,000 people.

And it found that replacing just one daily serving of processed red meat with nuts or legumes was associated with nearly a 20% lower dementia risk.

So one daily serving of processed red meat swapped for nuts or legumes.

I mean...

That's enormous.

Nothing is.

If you ate a kind of very UPF heavy diet and like mostly McDonald's and then had a portion of beans, you're probably not going to get your 20% lower dementia risk.

It's got to be.

part of something vaguely balanced.

But if you can start making those little swaps and even, you know, I've always said things like if you make a traditional shepherd's pie or lasagna or bolognese that your family absolutely love, even just adding, you know, making 20% of that lentils instead.
