Introduction
The nutritious salad embraces the concept of food synergy very well. When all three B vitamins(6, 12, folic acid) are eaten together they offer greater protection against heart disease.The omega 3 fats in flax oil are also heart healthy and work synergistically with the Vitamin E and niacin to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
This fat also helps the body absorb some of the vitamins and phtyo chemicals in the spinach and kale such as Beta carotene, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E.
