Parsely Has Great Benefits

There was actually a study released today at Harvard University and presented in Medical News Today that discussed the health benefits of parsley.  I think this one will be of great interest to anyone like you that is worried about cancer and bone health.  

The study included a group of participants who were told to add parsley to their daily diets. The researchers analyzed the health benefits received from this addition to their diets.

The team found several health benefits, however, the three most significant include:

1.      Cancer prevention: Myricetin, which is a compound found in parsley has been shown to have chemo-preventive effects on cancer, especially skin cancer. In addition, another natural compound found in parsley known as apigenin has been found to help decrease cancerous tumors, such as in breast cancer.

2.      Diabetes prevention: Myricetin has also been shown in previous studies to help lower blood sugar levels as well as improve insulin development.

3.      Improving bone health: Parsley is rich in vitamin K, which helps improve bone health by improving calcium absorption.

The researchers noted that parsley could easily be added to your daily diet by adding the spice to any dish to add great flavor, which also will not add any sodium.

If you are interested in any of these health benefits, you might want to consider adding parsley to your daily diet.

Have a great day.
