4 Healthy Reasons to Eat Salad

Did you know that eating salad every day may be one of the most healthy eating habits you can adopt? And such a simple and easy habit to develop too!

Eating salad is a super-convenient way to work in a couple servings of vegetables and fruit. Green salads are on the menu of almost every restaurant and you easily can make a green salad at home in 5 minutes.

Here are four health reasons to reach for a salad today and everyday:

1. Salad has lots of fiber

Salad contains a large quantity of fiber that helps keep you full for a long time and and can help you lose weight. Fiber also aids in digestion and is a great way to fight constipation. It’s hard to believe that something we can’t even digest can be so good for us!

2. A bowl of salad can have all the vitamins you need for the day

Many experts agree that people need to eat more fruits and vegetables (especially dark green and orange vegetables) and legumes which are all popular salad ingredients. There is plenty of evidence that nutrient-rich plant foods contribute to overall health.

3. Eating Salads can Cut Calories and Increase Satisfaction

If losing weight is one of your goals, you may want to start each meal with a green salad. Studies have shown that eating a low-calorie first course, like a green salad of 150 calories or less enhances satiety (feelings of fullness) and reduces the total number of calories eaten during the meal.

4. Eat Salads with “Smart Fats”

Eating a little good fat (like the monounsaturated fat found in olive oil, avocado and nuts) with your vegetables appears to help your body absorb protective phytochemicals, like lycopene from tomatoes and lutein from dark green vegetables.
