Herbs for Optimal Health and Healing

In and amongst the repertoire of culinary skills there is indeed more to herbs than mere flavour enhancement. Not just an excellent source of nutrition herbs can be used for healing, containing unique anti-oxidants, a range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential oils and nutrients such as phytosterol compounds… All of which help contribute to building a healthy immune system for fighting infection, reducing inflammation, detoxifying, preventing disease, smooth metabolic functioning and lowering bad cholesterol.
In light of this here is a list of some of the healthiest herbs about. I would strongly recommend eating these foods in organic supplies, avoiding toxic chemicals from herbicides, fungicides and pesticides and having been grown in the healthiest soil.
Parsley
Parsley is a great choice, known for its high vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content. It is a good source of dietary fibre known for dealing with constipation and lowering bad cholesterol.
Watercress
Watercress has been known for having a high nutrient content, rich in vitamins A, C and K with health promoting compounds like phytonutrients. It’s good for fighting infection, preventing cancer by reducing DNA damage, maintaining healthy connective tissue and countering iron deficiency.
Kale
Kale is another herb rich in vitamins A, C, K and also has high iron content. It has antioxidants, such as carotenoids and flavonoids to help fight disease such as cancer. High in calcium it helps build healthy bones while preventing osteoporosis while the vitamin C contributes to healthy connective tissue… are some of the benefits.
