4 Healthy Reasons to Eat a Salad Today
I'm taking heed also peoples. Let's do it!!!
Making one simple change to your diet – adding a salad almost every day – can pay off with plenty of health benefits.
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD

Have you had your salad today? Eating salad almost every day may be one of the most healthy eating habits you can adopt -- and one of the simplest, experts say.
Eating salads is a super-convenient way to work in a couple of servings of vegetables and/or fruit. Green salads are on the menu of almost every restaurant. You can even buy a side salad (with Romaine lettuce, carrots and tomatoes, available with fat-free or reduced-calorie salad dressing) for a buck at many fast food chains these days. And you can make a green salad at home in 5 minutes, armed with a bag of pre-washed salad greens, a few carrots or other veggies, and a bottle of light salad dressing.
Not only that, but salads are cool, crunchy, and fun to eat (lots of textures, colors, and flavors). Most people enjoy eating salads--even kids! You can customize them to include the fruits and vegetables that appeal to you the most, and whichever ones you have on hand.
Here are four health reasons to reach for a salad today:
1. Eat Salads for the Fiber
It's hard to believe that something we can't even digest can be so good for us! Eating a high-fiber diet can help lower cholesterol levels and prevent constipation.
Not only that, says Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan, eating more fiber can help you feel fuller, eat less, and ultimately lose weight.
2. Eat Salads for the Health Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables
Many experts agree that Americans need to eat more fruits and vegetables (especially dark green and orange vegetables) and legumes -- all popular salad ingredients. David Jacobs, PhD, professor of Public Health at the University of Minnesota, says in an email interview that there is plenty of evidence that nutrient-rich plant foods contribute to overall health.
If you frequently eat green salads, you'll likely have higher blood levels of a host of powerful antioxidants (vitamin C and E, folic acid, lycopene, and alpha- and beta-carotene,) especially if your salad includes some raw vegetables. Antioxidants are substances that help protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals.
For years, researchers have noted a link between eating lots of fruits and vegetables and lower risks of many diseases, particularly cancer. A recent study from the National Cancer Institute suggests that people whose diets are rich in fruits and vegetables may have a lower risk of developing cancers of the head and neck -- even those who smoke and drink heavily. Foods found to be particularly protective include beans and peas, string beans, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, apples, nectarines, peaches, plums, pears, and strawberries.
3. Eat Salads to Cut Calories and Increase Satisfaction
If losing weight is your goal, you may want to start your meals with a green salad. Studies have shown that eating a low-calorie first course, like a green salad of 150 calories or less, enhances satiety (feelings of fullness) and reduces the total number of calories eaten during the meal.
Rolls, lead researcher of the study, suggests that "bigger is better" as long as the salad is bigger in volume, not in calories - which means more veggies and less dressing and other fatty add-ons.
"We saw reductions in consumed calories when people ate salads that were 1 1/2 cups and 3 cups in volume but around 100 total calories," she says. The 3-cup, 100-calorie salad reduced the total calories consumed at the meal by about 55.
4. Eat Salads to Get Smart Fats
Eating a little good fat (like the monounsaturated fat found in olive oil, avocado and nuts) with your vegetables appears to help your body absorb protective phytochemicals, like lycopene from tomatoes and lutein from dark green vegetables.
A recent study from Ohio State University measured how well phytochemicals were absorbed by the body after people ate a salad of lettuce, carrot, and spinach, with or without 2 1/2 tablespoons of avocado. The avocado-eaters absorbed eight times more alpha-carotene and more than 13 times more beta-carotene (both of which are thought to help protect against cancer and heart disease) than the group eating salads without avocado.
If you dress your salad with a little olive oil, there may even be some additional years in it for you. Italian research on people aged 60 and older has suggested that a diet that includes plenty of olive oil and raw vegetables is linked to reduced mortality.

JAX LIVES @ A3C THIS WEEKEND!!!!
Forever king baby!!
words by FLUXWONDA
So if you don’t know by now, i will put you up on the scoop. A3C is a Hip-Hop Festival that has been going on for the last 5 years here in in Atlanta. It brings acts from all over the country and every year it gets bigger and bigger. Binkis Recs have been known for smashing A3C every year! And every year it’s something different and the fans always enjoy. This year… well is a lot different. This is the first year that we will not be physically performing with my brother JAX. Just me being who I am and the position holder in the group, I have a habit of just rolling with it and doing the best that I can. I would much rather the brother to be here physically rocking the set like we do. It’s also coming up to a year since he passed over… Nov. 4th. I don’t know man, I know what I got to do but this feeling is new for me. READ

Ludacris, T.I. raise $115,000 for Atlanta flood victims
By Kristi E. Swartz
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta rappers Ludacris and T.I.have raised $115,000 to help Atlanta flood victims, a spokesman for The Ludacris Foundation said Thursday afternoon.
The foundation will be working with the United Way, Red Cross and school social workers to help families impacted by the flood, Roberta Shields, president of The Ludacris Foundation said Friday morning. Aid will be given out in the form of vouchers for food, clothes and building supplies, she said Friday.
Ludacris and T.I. each donated $10,000 on Thursday and then turned to friends and colleagues for help, a foundation spokesman said. T.I. is in prison for a year on weapons charges.
"The Atlanta music and hip hop community as well as the hip hop community at large has come to the support of Chris and T.I. and the Atlanta flood victims," the spokesman said.
Contributions came from Carmelo Anthony and his wife, La La Vazquez, singers Diddy, Young Jeezy, Shorty Low, The Dream, Sierra, producers Jamal Coleman, Tricky Stewart, David Banner, Russell Simmons, Anthony Dent, Edward Long, and Jini Thornton, The Otis Redding Foundation, actor Chris Tucker and actress Gabrielle Union.
A report on Wednesday from TMZ said Ludacris had planned to partner with Home Depot and Sam's Club and put together a food bank as part of the efforts. The foundation spokesman said the artist is still exploring options at this point.
"As you know, he loves Atlanta and is very concerned and interested," a foundation spokesman said. "He's had a conversation with a couple of people, his colleagues, we're not going to name names anymore. They are looking at how to pool their resources.
The challenge at this point is to partner with groups or agencies that can help figure out where the money should go, the foundation spokesman said.
A spokesman from Home Depot said the company would be happy to discuss relief efforts with the foundation.
"As Ludacris and T.I figure out what direction they're going in, we're happy to speak with them," spokesman Craig Fishel said.
Heavy rain triggered widespread flooding across Georgia, causing $250 million in damage and placing more than a dozen counties on the list to receive federal aid, officials said. Atlanta officials said at least 500 homes and businesses were damaged from the storms.
More than 3,600 residents and businesses had already applied for aid as of last week, the Federal Emergency Management Association said.
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges helped start The Ludacris in 2001. The nonprofit held a benefit earlier this month with the rapper-turned actor and philanthropist partnering with Nissan South to donate 20 used cars.
