Benefits of a salad

I always loved a big ass salad and ate one practically daily!

But now with Ivan, I can't do that.

Now I have to eat small amounts otherwise I would end up with a blockage.

So whenever I have one I have to make sure to take my digestive enzymes to help break it down otherwise there will be trouble!!

Here are some of my favorite benefits of salads.
- Leafy green vegetables are nutrient rich because leaves contain the light-catching, energy-converting machinery of plants.
- Salad greens contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium, folate, fiber, and phytonutrients.
- Leafy vegetables are a good choice for a healthful diet because they do not contain cholesterol and are naturally low in calories and sodium.
- Many of the health benefits that leafy greens provide come from phytonutrients, unique compounds that provide protection for plants. These compounds are becoming recognized as part of a nutritious diet that promotes long-term health.
- Red and dark green leafy vegetables are generally higher in antioxidants, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients than lighter colored greens.
