Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your nutrition or simply adopt a healthier lifestyle, fresh salads will be your best friend.
Aside from their natural good taste, vibrant colors and fragrances, eating a large serving of fresh, raw vegetables each day can have significant health benefits. Dark green lettuce, kale and spinach are packed with vitamins A, C, E and K, while bok choy and mustard greens also provide many of the B vitamins. Combination of vitamins supports the immune system, protects bones and keeps the cardiovascular system healthy.
Leafy greens and raw veggies are a great source of natural fiber, loaded with vitamins and minerals.
