So the weather is a big deciding factor for our Health & Beauty posts. Red lentils are a favourite of ours in the office for lunch and they are great for you too.
Benefits
- Lowers Cholesterol due to the presence of folate and magnesium.
- Lentils can increase your energy levels which is great during menstruation as our iron levels drop and consuming them boosts the iron levels.
- High amount of healthy protein, 26% of Lentils calories are attributed to protein.
- Stabilized Blood Sugar due to the soluable fibre which slows down digestion.
Try a warm Lentil curry

I'm a simply striving to be better and improve in different areas of my life through more self awareness, experiences and learning more about the deen. You'll find me talking about community, connection, planting & growing, seeking the truth in an age of propaganda and misinformation. This year I want to document more to do with food heritage and history so watch this space or reach out. Have a listen to the Amaliah Voices podcast where I talk passionately about Islam, nature, motherhooding and back home. Link in bio peeps.
