Do You Know What Happens in the Body When You Drink Tea With Parsley, Lemon and Honey? You Will be Surprised!

Parsley is an herb that can be found in various foods, which is most commonly used as a garnish. It has a very mild flavor and is often used to neutralize the stronger flavors, such as garlic and oregano. It is also widely recognized for its healing properties throughout history.

Here are some of It’s health benefits:

1.Parsley has been found to contain two types of unusual compounds that provide some very unique health benefits. The first component found is a volatile oil that includes myristicin, limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene. The second components found are flavonoids-including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol, and luteolin.

“Myristicin” is a natural occurring compound found in parsley. It’s been found to be effective at reducing both the speed and growth of tumors in the stomach and lungs.

Luteolin, one of the flavanoids found in parsley has been shown to function as powerful antioxidantsthat help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells. 

2.Parsley is also rich in the source of two vital nutrients that are also important for the prevention of many diseases: vitamin C and vitamin A. These are both powerful antioxidants that destroy free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for the development of many medical conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes and colon and cervical cancer and asthma.

Eating a diet rich on Vitamin C acts as an anti inflammatory and provides individuals with protection against a form rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Like vitamin C, beta-carotene may also be helpful in decreasing the severity of medical conditions such asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. This vitamin is so important to a strong immune system that its nickname is the “anti-infection vitamin.”

3.Parsley is also rich in folic acid, one of the most important of the B vitamins. Folic acid‘s most critical role in the body relates to the benefits it bring to cardiovascular health.

4.Parley is also rich in potassium and has a diuretic effect on the body. It was successfully used in World War II to treat soldiers with kidney conditions and dysentery. 

5.Parsley has been found to be effective for all kidney and urinary conditions except severe kidney inflammation. Drinking parsley tea helps to prevent salt from being reabsorbed into the body tissues. In other words, parsley literally forces debris out of the kidneys, liver and bladder. It helps improve edema and general water retention, fatigue and scanty or painful urination.
