Eating lentils could also combat high blood pressure, according to a study published in March.

High blood pressure, medically known as hypertension, is a silent killer and can lead to strokes, heart attacks and heart failure.
The NHS reportedly spends around £2 billion each year on dishing out medications to combat dangerously high blood pressure.
But the University of Manitoba study offered hope of a cheap, easy and tasty way of combating the condition, and discovered lentils could reverse declines in blood vessel health, too.
