Can Eating Like A Spokane Rabbit Add 2 Years To Your Life?

Spokane Rabbit food is good for people too.

That’s according to researchers at Louisiana State University.

In a study of more than 17,000 people, the researchers found that those who ate just one serving of garden salad daily tended to have significantly higher levels of folic acid and vitamins C, B6, and E.

The salad eaters also had higher levels of lycopene and alpha– and beta-carotene, antioxidant substances that may help protect cells from damage that leads to disease.

Not all that surprising, right?

But, here’s the payoff: The amount of raw vegetables in one serving of salad significantly increases the odds of getting the recommended amount of nutrients, and if eaten every day, is
estimated to increase life span by 2 years.

That sounds too good too be true—two extra years just by eating salad. Can’t hurt to try.

To get the most health benefits, build your salad with vegetables rich in antioxidants—dark leafy greens, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and red and green bell peppers.

Unfortunately, only about one-third of the people in the study ate salad on any given day. The other two-thirds might want to take a cue from the bunnies and add some colorful raw veggies to their diets.
