Lentils
One of the main concerns of people switching to plant-based diets is the source of protein. Luckily, legumes like lentils exist! Feel free to add it to your dishes, especially once you find out that people who regularly consume it are at less risk of contracting strokes and heart diseases. Aside from protein, lentils also come with high amounts of potassium and magnesium. Studies have shown that lentils help decrease blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and decrease blood vessel plaque build-up.
