Health and fertility benefits of Caesar Salad with Sourdough Croutons

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. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.
