4. Lentils are good for you
Lentils are an excellent source of fiber and vitamin B9, which is also known as folic acid. Consuming lentils can help you reduce bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart problems, diabetes, and obesity.
Minerals, called selenium, not present in most foods, are in the lentils. It helps fight cancer, cognitive decline in the elderly and can even improve chronic asthma.
