Phase Two(Chronic): Chronic 8-week study using mixed beans (pinto, kidney, black, and navy) to determine improvements in vascular function, cardiovascular risk factors, and glycemic control in participants with Peripheral Artery Disease (N=75, 25/group). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following three groups: i) foods containing 0.6 cup mixed beans/day consumed 5 days per week (total amount is 3 cups mixed beans per week); or, ii) foods containing 0.3 cup mixed beans/day for 5 days per week); or, iii) pulse-free foods (control) consumed 5 days/week. A total of 3 in-person visits for screening, baseline and final will be required during the 8-week study schedule. Assessments of vascular function, cognitive function, food dietary intake and preferences, flavonoid levels and cardiovascular risk markers in blood and urine, glycemic control, and anthropometrics will be completed at baseline and at 8 weeks.
