When we talk about healthy eating, the first thing that usually comes to mind is salads when choosing the dish we're going to eat. But we must keep in mind that not all salads are as innocent as we assume, or rather, not all the ingredients we use to make them are low in calories or provide a good nutritional value.
Among the ingredients we should avoid adding to our salads are, for example, creamy dressings, since they not only contain a lot of calories, but also have little nutritional value, both of which are certainly best avoided.
Also, it is advisable to avoid adding any ingredient that has been fried, for example, when adding protein we can add chicken, but this does not have to have been part of a frying since otherwise we will be adding large amounts of sodium to our dish, a good replacement is to add the contents of a can of natural tuna.
Croutons, those pieces of crispy bread sautéed in oil, are the most common way to ruin a nutritious salad, since we will be adding a good amount of refined carbohydrates to the recipe while adding about 30 total calories to the dish, something that is best avoided if what we are looking for is to feel lighter after the meal and lose those annoying extra pounds once and for all.
Something we can keep in mind is to season our salads in the most natural way possible, for example, lemon can simply replace salt, and in this way, we will be avoiding bloating due to sodium while incorporating a good dose of vitamin C into our diet, which is never a bad thing to add to the body to increase its defenses.
We recommend supplementing your diet with vitamin supplements such as Vitamin 3 in 1, sold at the Health Food Store.
