Romaine and Smoked Salmon Salad
Lettuce is a low calorie food that can be used as a basis for light, delectable salads. But it does not always have to be iceberg lettuce! This recipe, for example, uses romaine lettuce as a basis for a salad that is loaded with chromium, an important mineral for hirsute women. Chromium helps fight insulin resistance which is often associated with hirsutism. Furthermore, chromium promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. The salmon in this salad is packed with vitamin B3, vitamin B6, and magnesium, all of which are thought to be particularly beneficial for hirsute women.
