Health and fertility benefits of Green Salad with Chicken and Pink Grapefruit Recipe | MyRecipes

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. Grapefruits are rich in folic acid. One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid.
