Good Health by Just Eating a Salad Before Each Meal?

It's hard for many people to eat decently. Many people don't have time on their lunch breaks. Many people can't afford organic food. Organics are expensive! When you eat at restaurants it's almost guaranteed that there will be preservatives, pesticides, and other chemicals in your food. How can eat healthily in our current society?

Well, here's a quick tip. Your body is constantly detoxifying itself, whether you eat healthily or not. If you take chemicals (toxins) into your body faster than your body can detox, then the body stores these toxics in fats and tries to rid itself of the toxins through boils, ulcers, pimples, etc. So, the key is to eat less toxins than you're detoxing--less in than is going out!

Here's a very simple way to decrease the toxins going into your body:

Eat a fresh salad before each and every meal

Preferably this should be organic with only extra-virgin olive-oil as dressing. No cheese or meat is recommended, but I often flavor my salads with a little Roma cheese. Since you're eating a meal afterwards even a little cheese or dressing won't hurt.

How Does a Salad Help?

Eating a salad before each meal does a few things:

• Salads made with fresh fruits and vegetables provide enzymes. If your body has these enzymes it can better digest the lasagna, hamburger, pie, fast food, or any other unhealthy food you plan to eat after it.
• A salad will fill you up a little, so you'll eat less food that isn't good for you. If you skip dessert, you do, if you don't, you don't, however, if you leave half of the deep-fried French fries on your plate in favor of a salad, then you're doing better than you would be without the salad!
