Consuming vegetables and fruits and obtaining essential nutrients from them is not only vital for fulfilling the body's basic needs but also plays a significant role in various biological and biochemical processes.

• Why a Healthy Diet is Essential

Every individual should aim to consume at least one pound (0.45 kg) of salad daily, made with raw vegetables, fruits, seeds, and grains. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, this is indispensable. Daily consumption of raw vegetable and fruit salads nourishes the body, strengthens immunity, and helps control diseases.

Unfortunately, in modern culture, few people embrace such a diet. Many opt for junk or fast foods, filling their stomachs with unhealthy options instead of dedicating time to their well-being. While this lifestyle might seem enjoyable during youth, it often leads to addiction and health issues later in life.

• Benefits of Eating Raw Salads and Juices

It is crucial to eat vegetable and fruit salads twice a day. If that's not feasible, a good alternative is to drink freshly prepared raw vegetable or fruit juice. Research indicates that eating raw vegetables offers the highest protection against serious diseases, including cancer.
