Lunch: Spicy Tofu Salad Bowl

Recipe by tamzie When it's too hot or when I don't feel like cooking, I'll make this quick healthy bowl. Sometimes I just eat it as a salad without rice and sometimes I mix a spoonful of the spicy paste with the steam rice and eat it.

Romaine Lettuce, Sesame Seeds

Health and fertility benefits of Spicy Tofu Salad Bowl

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production.
