Anti Aging Benefits
Being loaded with vitamin C, lentil works great to protect skin from premature aging. Collagen is a very important structural protein for our skin and any deficiency of the same results in saggy skin with lines and wrinkles. Fibroblast is a type of skin cell that produce collagen. Vitamin C can stimulate the activities of fibroblast cells, thus boosting collagen production. This helps preventing the appearance of aging signs, like lines and wrinkles.

The outermost layer of our skin contains a high amount of calcium. Calcium loss can result in dry as well as rough skin. Lentil helps to replenish our skin with the lost calcium and prevent dryness.
Calcium also speeds up skin cell renewal process, which further helps to maintain soft skin naturally. In addition, lentil contains iron, which also plays a vital part in the health of our skin. Lack of iron can cause dry and damaged skin.
