Lentils
Lentils and other pulses are amazing sources of fiber and protein. This legume, along with chickpeas, work to decrease blood pressure by expanding the body’s blood vessels. Lentils also happen to have polyphenols- health promoters that can help reduce several heart disease risk factors. What’s great is that they’re easy to add into the diet (and they don’t take a very long time to cook). They can be put in soups or used as a replacement for red meat.
