What Happens To Your Body if You Eat Salads Every Day (3 of 3)

Better Heart

If heart disease is something that runs in your family or scares you (honestly, it should), eating a lot of salads can be a good way to prevent this from happening to you. The most important factors in keeping your heart healthy are fiber and folate. We already know salads have plenty of fiber in them, but folate is mostly found in romaine lettuce, which is used in most salads.

More Energy

Despite the calorie counts of a salad versus a big hearty meaty meal trying to claim otherwise, having salads for food will make you more energized. The important thing to remember here is those high-energy foods that are high in carbohydrates and fats will make you crash out occasionally as well. Salads give your body a steady supply of energy based on the same nutrients, so it can keep up a solid energy level.

Less Stress

This pretty much goes hand in hand with the blood pressure thing, but eating salads very often will allow you to deal with stress better. The main reason for this is that salads have a much better balance of minerals and protein when compared to other foods. This will help balance the hormones in your body and help you deal with any stress you’re feeling on a day-to-day basis.
