HEALTH PROPERTIES
Rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins and low fat, lentils have been considered, since ancient times, the meat of the poor. The high fiber content makes them very important and useful for the functioning of the intestinal system and to keep under control the cholesterol level. They are very suitable for the prevention of arteriosclerosis because the few fats contained in them are unsaturated type. But that’s not all: lentils also contain isoflavones, substances that "clean" the body. Experts recommend consuming them mainly because of their antioxidant properties that act positively on the pollutants to which we are all subject.
Lentils are also very rich in thiamine, useful for improving the storage processes, while the substantial content of vitamin PP acts as a powerful nervous system balancer, with antidepressant and antipsychotic action. Finally, they are very suitable for all those who need iron.
