What are you going to eat?

Did you eat just beans straight away?

I did.

You did straight away?

Interesting.

But people were like, a lentil?

Like, as though a lentil was like the grossest, weirdest thing you could ever eat.

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.
