Study Purpose

The purpose of this USDA funded trial is to assess the effects of consuming two doses of pulses (1.5 cups/wk and 3 cups/wk) on:

• Evaluate comprehensive cardiovascular health markers, including critical blood lipid profiles, arterial blood pressure dynamics, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels – key indicators of long-term metabolic health and cardiovascular resilience

• Assess transformative changes in nutritional excellence through detailed analysis of dietary patterns, nutrient density, and overall nutritional optimization

• Investigate the profound relationship between pulse consumption and quality of life metrics, examining how these nutrient-rich foods influence both psychological well-being and gastronomic satisfaction in adult participants
