I’ve noticed that many people eat less vegetables in the cold season.
But this is precisely when the body needs foods that are rich in water, vitamins, and are easy to digest, and lettuce is the best candidate.
Simple and unpretentious, each lettuce leaf is a treasure trove of nutrients that many people overlook.
1. Low in calories but super rich in vitamins – perfect for women who want a slim figure and beautiful skin.
Lettuce contains vitamins A, K, C, folate, and fiber.
→ Helps skin become brighter and healthier, supports eyesight, bones, and the immune system.
2. Extremely high water content – helps prevent dry skin in the cold season.
Lettuce contains up to 95–96% water.
→ Supports the body’s natural water retention, helping to prevent dry and cracked skin, especially for women who work in air-conditioned rooms all day.
If you want to eat less but still feel full and light, adding lettuce to your meals is the best option.
3. Natural antioxidants – supports beautiful skin and a healthy heart
Lettuce (whether green or purple) contains antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein, and vitamin C.
→ Helps reduce oxidative stress, supports cardiovascular health, and protects cells.
Simply put: eating lettuce regularly helps the body fight aging gently every day.
4. Good for bones thanks to its high Vitamin K content
Vitamin K in lettuce supports:
– The natural blood clotting process
– Reduces the risk of osteoporosis over time
Especially important for women over 40-45 years old.
5. Supports weight control – especially belly fat
Because it’s low in calories, high in water, and rich in fiber, lettuce creates a feeling of fullness. Eating it before main meals helps reduce carbohydrate and fat intake. It’s ideal for those battling belly fat and visceral fat.
Suggestions for eating lettuce in winter to avoid stomach upset:
– Mix salad with ginger, pepper, and olive oil – warms the body and aids digestion.
– Eat with boiled eggs, salmon, or chickpeas – provides protein.
– Drizzle with lemon/honey – enhances flavor and makes it easier to eat.
For those who want beautiful skin, remember to combine it with:
👉 Omega-3 (from fatty fish or supplements) – supports anti-inflammation, good for cardiovascular health, brain function, and skin.
