The Best Greens For Salad – Leafy Green Vegetables For Healthy Salads – Dr.Berg

Take Dr. Berg’s Advanced Evaluation Quiz: http://bit.ly/EvalQuiz

Hey guys, Dr. Berg here. I had another question about what salad mixture should you consume. And I’m just going to talk about the different types of things that you could put in a salad, okay? And the nutrients that are involved in that.

We have romaine lettuce, green lettuce, cabbage, spinach, and kale. There’s arugula. There’s a whole bunch of others, but I just wanted to pick the most popular and then just kind of rate them based on how much vitamin K, which is good for clotting, uh, and, uh, vitamin A, good for the eyes, vitamin C, folate, potassium, and phosphorus. Now, I’m not going to go through all the numbers, but I just wanted to talk about out of all the vegetables, you can see who’s which one is the winner is the kale. I mean, it’s loaded with vitamin K.

I mean has a 1,062 milligrams compared to everything else. It just you know is is amazing. So if you were on couin for example because you are on you had heart problems and you’re preventing clots you probably want to avoid kale um and uh maybe you wanted to do something like cabbage or green lettuce but nothing dark green. All right but kale is loaded with vitamin K. Now we talk about vitamin A.

Spinach has the most vitamin A, but green lettuce actually comes in second. So, that’s pretty cool. But realize vitamin A in vegetables is a previtamin A. It’s not an active form. So, you’re going to have to get your active form through something like cive oil or or eggs or something like that.

Now, when we get to uh vitamin C, this is interesting. Yeah, kale is the winner again, 53 milligrams. But look at cabbage comes in second 33. Compared to these other vegetables, cabbage is loaded with vitamin C. Now, I’ve recently done a lot of videos on vitamin C deficiencies.

So, I think cabbage would be a great way to get your vitamin C. Then, we get into folate, which is romaine lettuce is loaded with folate. Uh, compared to other things, it’s pretty high. And then spinach comes in second. Looks like kale is not too much in folate.

And then we get into the potassium. You know, kale has the most. It’s almost 3 thou 300. And then it has a good amount of phosphorus as well. And that would be good for energy, uh, building bone and ligament and collagen and things like that.

But the point I wanted to make is that you need to start consuming vegetables because check this out. In the US alone, 145 pounds of sugar is consumed by the average American. only 33 lbs of lettuce is consumed by the average American. So, it’s not a lot and it’s probably I do probably 33 lbs a month uh myself, but you want to start increasing. I would do this.

I would buy big bowls, okay? Not plates. Buy the bowl and fill it up and that’s your salad. At least one of those a day or maybe even two. But I just wanted to create the chart to kind of give you a little deeper insight on um the benefits of certain types of vegetables more than others.

I think kale is the winner and you should probably do that. And I like cabbage. Spinach is pretty good, too. Thanks for watching. Hi guys.
