I am eating a VERY big salad daily. Relatives are concerned about the possibly high content of oxalates I am taking. The daily salad consists mainly of:
Lollo rosso/red cabbage
Romaine cabbage
Spinach
One small red beet
1-2 Small tomatoes
Sometimes an avocado
Usually some olive oil
And some balsimic vinegar
I am feeling great by having this habit. But I realised my oxalate intake is very high . How dangerous can this be, kidney-stones wise? And is it advisable to eat your greens cooked for better vitamins/mineral absorption? I have heard that by eating your greens raw, your body isn't able to break down the cellulose in it.
