Chickpeas: The Surprising Cholesterol Hack

Who knew your pantry’s humble chickpeas could be a cholesterol game-changer? A new study found that eating a cup of chickpeas daily for 12 weeks seriously lowered cholesterol in people with prediabetes—way more than black beans did. The secret? Chickpeas feed your gut bacteria, which helps your body handle fats better and lowers inflammation. Pro tip: skip the deep fryer and try roasting or stewing them with olive oil, garlic, and spices. Hummus counts, too! Time to give chickpeas some love! #HealthHack #Chickpeas #Cholesterol
