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.
