A doctor specializing in nutrition has suggested that consuming lentils, chickpeas, and beans regularly could contribute to a longer and healthier life.
Dr. Carlos Andrés Zapata, known as 'the fruit doctor,' recommends incorporating these legumes into your diet. He claims that a daily serving of half a cup of these legumes has been linked to increased longevity, according to some studies.
While some initial digestive discomfort might occur, Dr. Zapata assures that it's a temporary side effect that usually disappears within three weeks. He suggests aiming for at least four servings of these legumes per week.
