Top 20 Superfoods That Can Save Your Heart

9. Lentils

Lentils are part of the legume family and are considered superfoods for a good reason. They can help lower the risk of certain cancers, regulate bad cholesterol (LDL), and improve blood pressure. They're also rich in iron and potassium. Just be sure to cook them well because raw lentils have lectin, a protein that can cause digestive issues like vomiting and diarrhea if not cooked properly.
