Parsley
This little herb is so full of health benefits that you will want to have it with every meal! Just read on.
Parsley offers remarkable nutrition; rich in vit C, A and K; calcium, magnesium, iron, folate and most importantly in chlorophyll. In Chinese Medicine, parsley is seen as warming (therefore great for cold conditions), with a bitter and slightly pungent and salty flavour.
- Improves digestion, relieves upset tummies, and refreshes the breath
- Promotes beneficial intestinal flora; rich in chlorophyll; helps stop bacteria
- Improves heart health; rich in folate; lowers homocysteine levels, hence reduces heart disease risk
- Promotes urination, helps with kidney and urinary problems; best in tea form
- Prevents brain and ocular nerve damage; rich in vit C and A; but also in Lutein and Zeaxanthin
- Immune health; increases antioxidant capacity; prevents cancer; offers chemoprotection; neutralises carcinogens such as charcoal grill smoke
- Strengthens the teeth and the bones, as it is rich in calcium, fluorine and vit K
Small garnish, huge benefits.. are you convinced? Just be aware that, in large amounts, it is not recommended to nursing mothers as it might dry up milk. Otherwise make sure you have a little bunch of it every
day. #acupuncture #acupuncturist #nutrition #nutritionist #naturopathy #naturopathicmedicine #health #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #wellness #healer #food #diet #dietplan #vitamins #calcium #iron #traditionalchinesemedicine #herbs #lifestyle #teeth #body #bones #selflove #healyourself #herbs #healthiswealth #immune #alternativemedicine #parsley
