If you start eating a salad every day, the primary side effect you will notice is a huge boost in nutrient consumption.

There are two forms of fiber you will get from food, and both provide health benefits.

Insoluble fiber is the primary type you'll find in salad ingredients as it is more widespread in food sources, and this form of fiber is known to improve digestive regularity by adding bulk to stool and allowing it to pass through your system quickly.

With all those dark green leafy vegetables making up the base of your salad, you will also be upping your intake of Vitamin K: a nutrient that plays a role in bone health and proper blood clotting.

Your best bet for getting a boost of Vitamin K in your next salad is to focus on dark green lettuces, like kale and spinach, and add in other dark green veggies, like broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
