Summary

This is a single site, open registration, dietary proof of concept, food substance study designed to explore the health benefits associated with daily pulse consumption in individuals with peripheral arterial disease. The investigators hypothesis that a diet containing at least one serving of pulse crops (dried beans, peas, lentil, chickpeas) per day provides flavonoid compounds that improve cardiovascular health by increasing the levels of serum adiponectin is based on evidence from the literature that indicates flavonoids present in these foods are capable of improving arterial stiffness and reducing hypercholesterolemia.
