Part Two: First rainbow salad of the year and why now is the perfect time to start adding in fresh greens and other delicious, healthy vegetables!

🌈🌿Rainbow salad benefits:

Obviously, most people know the benefits of eating a fiber rich diet, but did you know that each color represents a different family of phytonutrients and offers unique benefit to the body?! Here are a few staple ingredients when I make my rainbow salad!

Purple onion & radish skins – quercetin and anthocyanins for circulation, antioxidant defense, and inflammation balance.

Leafy greens – chlorophyll, folate, magnesium, and vitamin K to support liver pathways, blood health, and detoxification.

Multicolored tomatoes & carrots – carotenoids like lycopene and beta-carotene to protect cells, skin, and eyes.

Cabbage – glucosinolates that convert to isothiocyanates for phase II liver support.

Cucumber & celery – mineral-rich hydration and electrolyte balance.

Apple – pectin fiber to nourish beneficial gut bacteria.

Olives & pecans – healthy fats and polyphenols that enhance nutrient absorption and calm inflammation.

Cranberries (optional) – proanthocyanidins for microbiome and urinary support.

🚨Before you go hog wild on lots of veggies, read this:

If you’re not used to eating a lot of raw vegetables or fiber-rich foods, a large salad like this may initially cause gas or bloating — especially if digestion is already sluggish.

Start simple adding in more fresh vegetables slowly. 

Chew thoroughly. Slow down. Let your nervous system shift into “rest and digest.”

You can also support digestion with ***bitters or digestive enzymes before meals.

Bitters are often better if the issue is low stomach acid, weak bile flow, or poor digestive signaling. They stimulate your own saliva, stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile. That’s foundational support.

Digestive enzymes are more helpful if there’s true enzyme insufficiency, pancreatic weakness, or noticeable heaviness after meals despite good appetite and acid.

For a big raw salad specifically, I’d usually start with bitters 10–15 minutes before eating. If bloating still happens, then try enzymes. Also try not to consume a lot of cold beverages when you're eating fresh salads, and raw vegetable. Too much cold can stall your digestive fires and lead to tummy discomfort. 

*** I offer a wonderful and tasty bitters compound! Reach out to order.
