Chickpeas
Chickpeas contain such ingredients as high fiber, potassium, and vitamins C and B-6. Each of these nutrients has been shown to support heart health significantly. The high fiber that appears in significant amounts in chickpeas has been shown in studies to also considerably lower the amount of total cholesterol in the bloodstream, which in turn is known to aid in decreasing the risk of heart disease. In one cited study, it was found that those individuals who reportedly consumed 4,069 mg per day of potassium were shown to have a 49 percent lower risk of death caused by heart disease.
