Parsley

Parsley is an amazing herb that is known to cleanse many tissues and organs in the body.  It is one of the most cleansing herbs you can consume; is best eaten in it's raw state. Parsley can be blended into dips, eaten chopped into salads, and can also be juiced.  Usually used only as a garnish on a diner plate, parsley is not to be disregarded!  Benefits include:
  • High in vitamin K
  • diuretic 
  • aids digestion
  • freshens breath
  • cleans the kidneys/bladder (recommended for diets high in animal products)
  • cleans out cigarette tar from lungs/ cleanses lung tissues
  • anti cancer
  • soothes arthritis pain
  • stimulates hair growth
  • strengthens the immune system
  • anti inflammatory
  • high in anti-oxidants

 I wanted to show two distinct pictures of the two different kinds of parsley you may find at the grocery store.  Both species provide such similar benefits that the choice comes down to the texture.  It is probably beneficial to eat both kinds but preference is up to the picker.  This herb is very important for those on high protein diets like Atkins because it cleans the kidneys and bladder by flushing the regions and is able to dissolve/prevent kidney stones.  Many people want to achieve muscular bodies and overtax their kidneys through consumption of too much whey protein, meats, and processed protein bars.  This kidney stone residue can be flushed from the body gradually with treatments of fresh parsley.  I recommend making a parsley dip.  It can be quite tasty and makes you feel great!  Good luck out there and avoid kidney stones!
