THAT LOOKS
LIKE WHAT!!!?
By YAHIMBA UHURU
My granddaughter Kayla and I were shopping in Whole Foods one day
when she started asking me what certain vegetables were good for. She
was so fascinated by my answers that I felt I should share that information
with the Westside Weekly readers! I told her that if she took a really good
look at the fruit or vegetable, she could figure out on her own what that
particular fruit or vegetable was good for.

Kidney beans look just like

maintain kidney function. If
you have healthy kidneys, the

kidney health, but if your
kidneys are diseased, limit
your intake of kidney beans.
