Description
Pulses are a low fat source of protein, with a high fiber content and low glycemic index. Pulses are very high in fiber, containing both soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fiber helps to decrease blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels, and insoluble fiber helps with digestion and regularity. Pulses provide protein and fibre, as well as a significant source of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, folate, and magnesium, and consuming half a cup of beans or peas per day can enhance diet quality by increasing intakes of these nutrients.
A pulse is the heart rate. It's the number of times the heart beats in one minute. The pulse can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck. Heart rates vary from person to person. Knowing your heart rate can help you gauge your heart health.
