Health Benefits of Organic Parsley

Parsley contains myristicin which is a powerful anti-tumor agent that inhibits the growth of tumors and thus can stop cancer. It also negates the cancer causing agents that are formed by grilling meat so remember to eat your parsley. Parsley also contains eugenol, limonene, and alpha-thujene which all help to prevent cancer.

Parsley also contains apiin, apigenin, apiin, luteolin, rutin, and crisoeriol which are powerful polyphenal compounds like that found in green tea. Parsley which is high in Vitamin C can help to prevent different types of arthritis. Studies show that those who eat a diet with lots of Vitamin C seem to never come down with certain types of arthritis. So keep eating that little bit of green on your plate. Parsley is rich in chlorophyll which is a powerful healing agent for vitality and disease prevention. Drinking parley juice is highly recommended at the first onset of UT infections, just like cranberry juice. But unlike cranberries parsley is also alkaline and helps to prevent inflammation. Parsley contains apiole which helps to provide estrogen which regulates monthly periods. Parsley has been used for ages for soothing way indigestion, heartburn, and stomachaches. Parsley is alkaline and thus increases your Ph just enough to prevent inflammatory disease.

A study was done showing that parsley contains myristicin and apigenin which help to increase a liver enzyme that detoxes the body, also apigenin helps to increase the effectiveness of some cancer treatments. Parsley is a very good anti-inflammatory agent helping to prevent disease. When I find inflammation coming on I eat a handful of parsley and it disappears.
