Are you tapping into the power of parsley? Parsley is an unsung hero of the herb world. There are many health benefits of including the herb in just about everything that you eat! Let’s tap into the power of parsley by looking at the benefits and how you can use it…
To begin, parsley is a huge supporter of kidneys in that it’s a natural blood purifier. It helps boost and improve the immune system, it aids in digestion and helps to reduce gas and constipation.
And let’s get real…if you are just beginning to eat more of a whole-food, plant-based protocol, your gut microbiome will need to adjust. There may be a little “gas” issue at first, but this power-packed herb can limit the length of your gut bacteria “balancing act.”
Parsley acts as a natural diuretic, which means that it helps flush fluids out of your body the proper way. It has been known to help improve bone health and prevent anemia. The nutrients and phytochemical are anti-inflammatory by nature. That’s good news for anyone dealing with an inflammatory disease, such as arthritis, auto-immune, cancers, etc.
Parsley also purifies breath naturally. With its subtle flavor, it’s not overwhelming or overpowering, which is one reason it’s so easy to add it to your daily meal plan. Don’t just leave it on the side of your plate at a restaurant as garnish. This herb truly does have great purpose for better health and healing.
