Salad is also a valuable source of vitamins , primarily the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E , which protect cells from aging. Finally, the salad is rich in mineral salts , especially potassium, a substance particularly suitable for counteracting water retention; of copper , zinc and selenium with anti-aging action and useful against infections and intoxications.
