Healthy Tip

Rinse lentils thoroughly to reduce bloating and ensure a lighter meal for sensitive digestion.

Why It’s Good for Liver Health

Lentils stabilize blood sugar and reduce liver fat accumulation. Vegetables such as carrots and zucchini hydrate the body, ease digestion, and reduce liver workload.

Cut vegetables into small, soft pieces to make chewing easier. If sodium sensitivity is a concern, replace half the broth with water.
