Many people are skeptical about leafy greenery. Like, grass is grass and there is no sense. Meanwhile, this opinion is deeply mistaken, and salad should become an obligatory part of the daily diet of everyone who wants to maintain health and a blooming appearance for a long time.
Salad is the king of the table for those who strive for perfect shapes
First, the salad contains vitamins (folic acid, K, C), minerals and a large amount of fiber. Plus it’s super low in calories. If, for example, one of the sandwiches eaten at breakfast is replaced with a bunch of lettuce, the benefits will be twofold: the calorie content of breakfast will be reduced by almost half, but a good service will be rendered to the intestines, for the normal functioning of which the fiber contained in the lettuce leaves is vital. Salad is especially relevant for those who are overweight, since eating it is a sure way to lose weight. Even if this is not a radical method, but, as they say, a drop wears away a stone …
The more greens, the healthier the sandwich.
Secondlythanks to the dietary fiber that the salad is rich in, the body can easily get rid of toxins and excess cholesterol, which has a beneficial effect on the main filter of our body – the liver. Arugula, for example, contains vegetable fats that stimulate the secretion of bile and prevent cholelithiasis. So any vegetable salad with the addition of lettuce, even eaten late at night, will not make you languish with heaviness in your stomach. True, you need to fill it with vegetable oil, not mayonnaise.
Third, the presence of trace elements and vitamins in the salad improves metabolism. Lettuce slows down the absorption of carbohydrates and fats, which means adding leafy greens to every meal and replacing part of the main course with them can help keep you satiated for longer. In addition, such a supplement significantly reduces the calorie content of food.
And also the daily use of herbs from the garden, including salad, has the most positive effect on the skin, giving it freshness, elasticity and a good complexion.
After all of the above, do you still have at least a drop of doubt about the benefits of lettuce?
