Is lentil soup healthy when sick?
A lentil soup is a popular and most-preferred food to eat when you have a cold. Lentil is loaded with protein, carbohydrates, and different kinds of minerals which are important for the body to retain its energy and also for recovery. To prepare this soup, add some vegetables for vitamins and minerals.
However, it’s worth bearing in mind – if you are planning on eating lentils every day – that the fibre they contain can be difficult to break down and can potentially cause gas and cramping if you eat too much of it.
