Here are some leafy facts surrounding the beloved first course (or last in some countries), the salad.

Brief Description: Here are some leafy facts surrounding the beloved first course (or last in some countries), the salad.
Body: 
1. Iceberg lettuce has almost no nutritional value and little flavor. Use dark greens such as spinach, leaf lettuce, arugula, dandelion greens, kale, watercress and basil leaves for added taste and health benefits.

2. Raw spinach juice taken twice a day before meals lowers the blood sugar. Gargle spinach leaf juice if you have a sore throat.

3. A compound found in spinach leaves, tylakoids, appears to inhibit the digestion of fat. Simply put, it keeps the fat in the intestinal tract longer, sending feelings of fullness and suppressing the appetite.

4. Want an easy way to ruin a good, healthy salad? You'll get there by adding bacon bits or croutons, adding extra cheese, adding fried or processed meats, using only iceberg lettuce, or piling on the salad dressing.

5. Get your calcium from fruits and vegetables that are high in magnesium, an element needed to properly distribute calcium in the body. Foods include dark leafy greens, tofu, yogurt, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, and fish.
