    Live Well Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Lentil soup is a delicious starter or a complete meal. This soup is low in fat and is lower in sodium than most canned soups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Women need 25 grams of fiber daily and men need 38 grams of fiber daily. A serving of cooked lentils is 15.5 grams of total fiber, which can help you get close to what you need!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The fiber in lentils is good for your stomach and your heart. Fiber helps us feel fuller longer and keeps our blood vessels clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
