Healthy Salads
According to a study conducted by the UCLA School of Public Health and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, less than 50% of the U.S. population meets the daily recommendation for vegetables necessary for healthy living. Americans do not get enough of the water-soluble vitamins of which salads are a rich source.
The raw vegetables in salads also offer the added benefits of fiber for better
digestion and antioxidants for boosting immunity. According to the nutrition study, those who eat salads and raw vegetables with salad dressing have considerably higher levels of vitamins C, E, B6, and folic acid — key nutrients in promoting a healthy immune system and reducing the risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases and conditions.
