Lettuce is one of the best vegetable sources of the mineral Iron. As well as supplying an abundance of Iron, Lettuce is dominant in two essential vitamins that enhance the absorption of the mineral Iron: Vitamin E is very will supplied and good amounts of vitamin C are also available from fresh Lettuce. The mineral Iron helps the body to increase resistance to stress and disease. Lettuce also supplies a correct balance of the main mineral Calcium with Phosphorus and that also enhances the absorption of the mineral Iron. Lettuce also supplies good amounts of the trace mineral Copper and that is essential for Iron metabolism. Iron foods will protect you against poor and brittle fingernails, stomach ulcers, conjunctivitis and hepatitis. Lettuce is a lucky vegetable as they rarely get cooked and thereby supply an abundance of heat sensitive nutrients such as the minerals potassium, sodium, Sulphur and chlorine and vitamins A, C, B complex. Biotin is a B complex vitamin and Lettuce is one of the best vegetable sources of this precious nutrient. Biotin is the only B group vitamin that contains the mineral Sulfur and this promotes body cleansing and protection from infections. Biotin is also essential for the metabolism of fats and a deficiency of this vitamin can lead to over weight conditions, difficulty in sleeping nervousness and dermatitis. Always remember lettuce if you want to relax.
