'' Five food items that’ll help you lose weight! ''
Salad Greens
Dieticians and nutritionists, not to mention irate parents and teachers have been crying themselves hoarse for years begging wards to eat their veggies. And the reason is it is GOOD for YOU. Leaf vegetables have very low calorie count, no fat content to speak of, a lot of dietary fibre, iron and calcium, and are very high in phytochemicals such as vitamin C, carotenoids, lutein, foliate and vitamin K. This means they improve bowel movement, reduce cancer risk and have such low carbohydrate content that they are virtually carb free. Lettuce, broccoli, spinach, sprouts, cucumbers and about a 1000 more plants have edible leaves so you aren’t really spoilt for choice. Also there are innumerable ways to consume greens: raw salads, as a cooked meal, stews, soup, etc.
Now most nutritionists agree that if you want to get all the vitamins, minerals and fibres that your body needs you should have five servings of fruits and veggies. Each serving is defined as 80g. So you should ideally have 400g of fruits and veggies in a day.
