What Happens To Your Body if You Eat Salads Every Day (2 of 3)

Improved Muscle Performance

There’s this (true) rumor going around that eating chicken will increase your muscle build-up, but there are certainly other ways out there to have increased muscle performance. In fact, the biggest advice about muscle build-up can be found in a silly kid’s cartoon. In case you hadn’t guessed it by now – spinach does in fact improve muscle power and bone density. Popeye was the original health guru.

Lower Cholesterol

Look, I like a steak just as much as the next person but that’s just full of saturated fats which is going to basically overload your liver. The higher fibers – and often lower amounts of red meats – found in salads are going to decrease your cholesterol and will make you a lot healthier in the long run. That doesn’t mean you can’t eat red meat ever, but just try to watch it a bit. Just a bit.

Improved Digestion

If you’re having trouble digesting your food, sadly the answer might also lie in just having more salads for dinner. The most notable foods in this context are carrots, broccoli, celery, radishes, and a bunch of others. You mainly want to look for food high in antioxidants. As an added bonus, most salads have food in them, like cheese, that are high in probiotics. Those will also improve your digestion.
