You Can Have A Gas While Eating Beans!

How To Avoid Gas From Eating Beans

Did you know that the average person will produce 1 litre of gas in a day?

Gas is often cited as the reason not to eat beans, yet beans are a great source of fibre, loaded with nutrients, and are low in fat and calories.

A solution is to always rinse your canned beans before using. This will eliminate the starch which is a contributor to the gas.

Another trick is to introduce beans slowly into your diet and in small quantities. Slowly increase your portions until they become a regular staple in your diet.

Here is a great Hummus recipe which is a great snack and a simple, tasty way of adding fibre to your diet.
