Lentils are packed with proteins and can provide the same amount of protein like red or processed meat. As a result, the consumption of lentils not only provides enough protein but also is a healthier choice for your heart. Furthermore, lentils have a lot of fiber which can lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes and colon cancer. Also, the potassium, folate and iron which are contained in lentils reduce blood pressure and fatigue and protect your heart.

Lentils can lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes and colon cancer. A daily dose of fiber pushes waste through your digestive system and prevents constipation, too. The potassium, folate, and iron in lentils also provide lots of benefits. Potassium counters the bad effects of salt and lowers blood pressure.
