Technically, pulses are the edible seeds from a legume plant that are harvested dry. “Pulses are special because they have distinct health benefits apart from other legumes.

Pulses are recommended for a nutritionally adequate diet in the newly updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans....

If you’re sleeping in a bent, twisted, or torqued position that is limiting or compromising blood flow, your brain, as a protective function, will signal your body to move, and when you move, you wake up....
