Metabolic Effect: With its low-calorie and fibrous structure, it facilitates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness. Thanks to the vitamins and minerals it contains, it supports the metabolism.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be used in salads, alongside meals or in sandwiches. When consumed with olive oil and lemon juice, its nutritional value increases and its flavor is enriched.
Things to Consider: Arugula is a food with a high iodine content. It is important for individuals with thyroid disorders to pay attention to the amount of consumption. It is not recommended to consume more than a handful per day.
Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to take a light-paced walk for about 7 minutes to burn the calories you get by consuming 100 grams of arugula. You can burn this calorie faster with more intense activities.
