Those who suffer from stress more often can use kidney beans for a little more relaxation. The high content of magnesium in the legumes can help relieve nervousness and lack of concentration, as well as other symptoms of stress.

The nacho salad is perfect for Taco Tuesday or the next party buffet. You can vary the dressing: How about a hot chili tomato sauce, for example?
