Today's Healthy-Eating Tip
Build a better salad
Sure, salads are typically healthy, but are you getting the most nutritional bang for your buck? Opt for dark greens such as spinach and kale, which are packed with folate — a B complex vitamin that promotes healthy blood circulation. Mix darker and lighter greens if you aren't used to the taste, and chop them finely.
