Romaine lettuce is one of the richest sources of vitamins B, and essential minerals, such as manganese and folic acid, which aid in normalizing blood sugar and regulating the proper functioning of the immune system.
Be sure to pick out purple or dark green varieties of lettuce, because green and red leafs are loaded with the richest concentration of nutrients. You can toss these into your garden salad, or a delicious vinaigrette seasoned with aromatic herbs.
6. Broccoli
Broccoli is a powerhouse vegetable that boosts a rich concentration of nutrients, primarily bone-strengthening calcium and waist-slimming fiber. It is the perfect pick for a satiating meal that will fill you up and curb your appetite to increase your weight loss gains.
Be sure to add at least one serving of broccoli to your daily diet. You can enjoy it with salads, pastas, soups or even an indulgent treat of baked broccoli fries.
