The Benefits of Going Green
Infographic from 30 Day Salad Swap
Leading nutritionists, dietitians and holistic health and wellness experts all tell us to eat more leafy greens.

Fresh, organic, leafy salad greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals (phytonutrients) and other micronutrients that are essential to good health.

Low in calories and an excellent source of dietary fiber, salad greens are thought to promote good digestive health and aid in weight loss, including belly fat.

Although all fresh leafy greens are considered healthy, some are better choices than others.
