Life is a salad of choices; make it fresh, make it colourful, and savor every bite. A salad is not a meal. It is a style. The essence of a good salad is simplicity. Clean, bright flavours that, when bought together, bring out the best in one another. Making Salad is an art. A delicious, healthy art. Every salad you serve is a picture you have painted, a sculpture you have modelled, a drama you have created. I want to focus on my Salad because it has amazing benefits.
- Salads helps you get enough Fruits and Vegetables
Having a fresh salad every day can make it easy to get all of the servings you need, plus it supports a clean eating lifestyle.
Dark leafy greens and brightly coloured vegetables ensure you get a range of vitamins and minerals, helping you to maintain a healthy body and mind. They are also overflowing with antioxidants, important chemicals in the fight against cancer-causing free radicals. To get the most benefit, try to keep the majority of the ingredients in their raw form.
- Salads are full of Fibres
Fibre helps you feel full longer and can provide a range of health benefits. For example, a fibre-rich diet can help alleviate and prevent constipation and lower cholesterol. It can also make it easier to maintain a healthy body weight which reduces your risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Your blood sugar levels may also stay more even, helping to prevent cravings for sugary foods.
- Salads cut calorie consumption
For people interested in losing weight, adding a healthy salad to every meal can be an excellent way to go. And, if you start a meal with a salad, you’ll have less room for higher-calorie options that form the rest of the meal.
Dark, leafy greens are very nutrient dense, meaning they provide a lot of nutrition with a limited number of calories. Many other fruits and vegetables can make a salad exciting and satiating without allowing you to pack on the pounds, so explore your clean eating options and choose items that leave you feeling satisfied.
- Salad contains good fats
While salad ingredients can contain fats, most of them are of the healthier varieties than you find in items like meat. For example, olive oil, nuts, and avocados all have fat, but of the monounsaturated variety. These not only help you feel more satisfied, but they also ensure your body can absorb other key nutrients found in fruits and vegetables more effectively.
Certain vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they need fat to be present to aid absorption. Vitamins A, D, E, and K all fall into this category, so you need to consume an appropriate amount of healthy fat, like omega-3, to make sure these vitamins are making it to critical body systems.
- Salads improves hydration
Some people are surprised to hear that fruits and vegetables are actually great sources of water. In fact, watermelon and strawberries are around 92 percent water while cucumber and certain lettuces are a startling 96 percent water. Eating a combination of vegetables and fruits will high water contents can help you stay hydrated even if you don’t have the opportunity to grab a glass of water to drink. Plus, the water consumption from foods does count towards your daily needs.
Further, the vitamins that aren’t in the fat-soluble category are water soluble instead. This means they need water to be absorbed by the body. This group includes the range of B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, B12, and folic acid, as well as vitamin C.
Other fruits and vegetables with high water content include grapefruit, peaches, oranges, tomatoes, spinach, and broccoli.
A receipe has no soul. You as the cook, must bring soul to receipe. Enjoy Healthy Salad.
Cheers!
