Alkalizing Health Benefits of Parsley

1 ) Anti-Cancer/Anti-Acid : ' Myristicin ' an organic compound found in the essential oil of parsley, not only inhibits tumor formation (especially in the Lungs) Myristicin can also neutralize carcinogens (acids) like benzopyrene in cigarette smoke that can pass through the body, consequently fighting against an acidic cancerous colon or an acidic cancerous prostate.

2 ) Healthy Immune System or White Blood Cells: 
* The vitamin C , found in parsley serve to strengthen the body's immune system, though in different ways. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen, the main structural protein found in connective tissue. This essential nutrient will not only accelerate the body's ability to repair wounds, but also maintain healthy bones and teeth.

** Vitamin A , on the other hand, fortifies the entry points into the human body, such as Mucous membranes, the lining of the eyes, and Respiratory, Urinary and İntestinal Tracts. Moreover, lymphocytes, or white blood cells, rely on vitamin A to buffer acids in the body that causes outfections.

3 ) A Healthy Heart : Homocysteine, an amino acid that occurs in the body, threatens the body's blood vessels when its levels become too high. Luckily, the folate (or vitamin B9) found in parsley helps convert the acid homocysteine into harmless molecules. A regular garnish of parsley can help buffer metabolic and dietary acids to prevent Cardiovascular Dis-eases, such as Heart Attack, Stroke, and Atherosclerosis.

4 ) Antioxidants or Antiacids : Parsley is rich with an antioxidant or alkalizing buffer arsenal that includes Luteolin, a flavonoid that searches out and buffers metabolic and dietary acids in the body that cause oxidative stress in cells. Luteolin also promotes carbohydrate metabolism and serves the body as an anti-inflammatory or anti-acid agent reducing inflammation and pain.

5 ) Anti-Inflammatory or Anti-acid : Along with luteolin, the vitamin C found in parsley serves as an effective anti-inflammatory agent within the body. When consumed regularly, they combat the onset of acids that causes inflammatory disorders, such as Osteoarthritis (the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (an acid disease causing inflammation in the joints).

6 ) Vitamin K : which is necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a protein that strengthens the composition of our bones. Vitamin K also prevents calcium build-up in our tissue that can lead to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Vitamin K protects our nerves and our Nervous System as a whole from metabolic and dietary acids.
