The Secrets of Salsa

THE SECRETS OF SALSA

   I use salsa as my secret to low glycemic eating. Not all salsas are the same. I recommend    reading the label carefully. I go to my local health food store and look at all the choices. I found one today that has no sodium.

Here are my TOP TEN BENEFITS OF SALSA

1.    Low glycemic
2.    Great substitute for ketchup which is usually loaded with sugar.
3.     Low calorie
4.     Low fat
5. Low Sodium Some salsas can be high in sodium so read the label carefully before purchasing commercial salsa at your grocery store
6. Great on so many things like eggs, vegetables, chicken
7. Quick and easy to make
8. Tomatoes have lycopenes – Cooked, processed tomatoes are the best source of lycopenes since the heat makes the carotenoids more available for absorption
9. Spicy salsa helps my sinuses
10. The active ingredient in chili peppers known as capsaicin has been shown in studies to have anti-inflammatory effects
