Brightly colored vegetables, especially leafy greens, contain the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that our bodies need to stay healthy. Eight to ten 1/2 cup servings of vegetables each day is not too many. Ideally, 40 to 50 percent of those servings are raw. Committing to eat one salad each day will give your body at least three or four servings of immune boosting, energy enhancing raw nutrition. Be sure to add a tablespoon of your favorite vinaigrette, a few chopped nuts or a tablespoon of seeds to ensure maximum vitamin absorption. Mix it up! Create different combinations of veggies that you love. A salad a day helps with weight control, stabilizes blood sugar and enhances the immune system. Easy and delicious!
