Parsley has been cultivated by man for the last two thousand years and was originally used as a medicinal plant, and only later on was it considered to be a seasoning.
There are two types of parsley: the curly leaves, which have a mild flavor, and the one with the flat leaves, otherwise known as “Italian parsley,” which has a peppery taste.
Curly Parsley
Flat-Leaf Parsley
The nutrients found in parsley include vitamins A, C, E, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, pantothenic acid, flatus, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, zinc, potassium, and copper.
Parsley’s health benefits include diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis control and osteoporosis prevention. Furthermore, it acts as an analgesic with anti-inflammatory properties, reliving gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion, cramps, bloating, and nausea, and helps strengthen your immune system.
Parsley can:
1. Help with diabetes Traditionally, parsley was used as diabetes medication in Turkey. In order to scientifically validate its use, a study was performed in the Mármara University in Istanbul, in Turkey.
The research showed that when diabetic mice were given parsley, their sugar levels improved throughout the course of a month. So the study indicates that it can be used to treat diabetes.
2. Control rheumatoid arthritis
Parsley is also very good at treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Compounds such as Vitamin C and beta-carotene found in this plant have anti-inflammatory properties that help control arthritis. It is also believed that eating parsley regularly quickens the uric acid removal process, which has been associated with arthritis symptoms.
3. Help prevent cancer
Some labs in Minneapolis, in the U.S.A. extracted a compound called myristicin from parsley oil. A preliminary investigation of this compound indicated that it has anti-cancer properties.
4. Reduce inflammation
Parsley has been used in the Mediterranean area to treat toothaches, sprains, bug bites, and some skin problems. According to research done at the Rei Saud University, in Saudi Arabia, parsley has anti-inflammatory properties and can also prevent hepatitis.
The anti-inflammatory properties reduce internal swelling, while the properties that prevent hepatitis help clean your liver.
5. Help with osteoporosis
Parsley is very effective at maintaining bone health. Osteoporosis occurs due to low calcium levels in your body, and parsley is considered one of the best sources of calcium. It also contains the appropriate quantity of folic acid.
6. Strengthen the immune system
The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in parsley are very good at strengthening your immune system. Studies have shown that parsley contains antioxidant and antibacterial properties, making it great for home remedies.
7. Help you with your diet
