What you should know:
• There are salads and then there are salads! Many people get used to thinking of a salad as simply some lettuce, tomato and cucumber when in fact there’s hundreds of ingredients that can go into a salad, making for countless fantastic permutations.
• Salads can be as exciting or as simple as you please.
• The quickest way to transform a salad so that anyone will eat it is with a great dressing.
Why salads are good for you:
• Salads are a vital part of a raw food diet – they provide a wide variety of vitamins and minerals as well as important fibre and chlorophyll.
• Salads help you stay balanced as they usually revolve around greens and other low sugar vegetables.
• Salads make it easier for you to incorporate other foods into your diet that you may not eat alone.
• Salads help carry more dense foods such as nuts, seeds, cheese and meat through your body more easily.
What you’ll need: A good knife is all that’s required but a grater makes things more interesting.
How to make a great salad:
First of all decide how big you want your salad to be and choose a plate or bowl large enough to accommodate it (pasta bowls are good) then select from the following:
Base
Take a look at the lists of leafy greens, herbs and wild greens and then choose from two to five different varieties. Tear, shred or arrange whole, as desired.
First layer
Select a few salad fruits and/or vegetables and grate, dice, chop, slice away until your salad has a good layer of high-water content foods covering the greens. Be imaginative and vary the textures and shapes and arrange them artistically. If you want something sweet, small amounts of apple, orange and pineapple will probably be digested easily so long as they do not form a large part of your main salad.
Second layer
Add in any of the denser foods which appeal from the following list: sprouted beans, young sprouted grains, indoor greens, soaked or dried seeds, soaked or dried nuts, soaked dulse or other sea vegetables, olives, mushrooms.
Topping
To finish off you might want to consider adding one or some of these: fresh herbs, edible flowers, dried seed/herb/veggie/sea veggie sprinkles, ground ginger, ground flax (linseed) and/or of course a sumptuous salad dressing.
Salad ideas:
• If you are eating a purely vegetable based salad, don’t be afraid to experiment with adding some tangy or sweet fruit pieces such as orange, apple, pineapple, peach, mango, grapes or grapefruit. It can make all the difference.
• Learn how to make some great dressings so that when salad doesn’t seem so appealing you can turn it around and enjoy it immensely.

Seafood is vital in maintaining a balanced diet. Research says that the nutrients and minerals present in seafood help in brain development and healthy heart.
It prevents you from fatal diseases like heart diseases, cancer and diabetes by reducing body fatness. Seafood is rich in Omega 3, monounsaturated fats, vitamins and minerals. It is also reported that including seafood at least once in a week in daily diet reduces the risk of heart attack by half.
Moreover seafood prevents you from becoming overweight and helps in maintaining ideal body weight and slimmer waistline. In a nutshell it improves your overall health.
When it comes to including in your daily diet go for baked, steamed or grilled fish or other seafood than fried ones. This makes a healthier choice. Frying makes seafood high in fat, but it does not mean you stop having some chips occasionally.
