Beans are found in most traditional cultures as a staple food, offering grounding and strengthening properties that enhance endurance. Beans, or legumes, including peas and lentils, are an excellent source of plant-based protein, and they offer a highly usable, highly absorbable source of calcium for the body. A very inexpensive source of high nutrition, beans can be rich, delicious and satisfying.

More good news and notes about beans:
Lack of sexual energy is often due to overtaxed adrenal glands and kidneys. Beans are known for strengthening these organs (ever noticed the shape of a bean?) and can help restore vital energy as well as sexual energy.
Although beans have a reputation for causing digestive distress, this is usually because they have been undercooked or improperly prepared. To help reduce gas-forming properties, soak beans overnight prior to cooking, increase cooking time, add spices like bay leaf, oregano or cumin, or add kombu (a sea vegetable) when cooking.
