Pulses are an under-consumed whole food. Obesity and malnutrition have become significant health burdens, so educating the general public will help to increase pulse consumption and prevent these major health disorders. The world is changing from an era of under-nutrition to one of global obesity.

It is also important to advise breeders to include the nutrition quality traits into their pulse breeding programs. This conference will help us accomplish these goals.

mychn.org - The Top 9 Healthiest Meats for Weight Loss - Community Health Network

Before we list the top 9 healthy meats for weight loss, we want to answer a pressing question. Is meat healthy? Like we stated earlier, that’s a bit of a loaded question. All meats are not unhealthy. However, there are some meats you may want to avoid. Experts say that you can have a healthy diet that includes meat. So, what types of meat should you avoid? First, you should avoid processed meats. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, salami, pepperoni, and others are a few examples. These processed meats are staples in many households, especially in America. Who doesn’t love a good hot dog? You don’t have to give them up cold turkey. But, if you can’t entirely give them up, you can limit your processed meat consumption. Eating processed meats in large amounts can lead to a higher risk of colon cancer. This is because processed meats contain large amounts of sodium and saturated fats. High sodium consumption from processed meats has been linked to death from stroke, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. In short, meat can be healthy. This is because meat provides protein and vitamins, and minerals like B12. Kris Sollid, RD, Senior Director, Nutrition Communications at the International Food Information Council Foundation, states: “Meat can be part of a healthy diet just as a healthy diet can be meatless,” he says.
