The edible parts of parsley are mainly fresh leaves and petioles. Not only is it fragrant and rich, it is also nutritious. Both the fruit and leaves of parsley contain volatile essential oils that can be extracted by distillation. Parsley essential oil contains flavonoids, which are diuretic and antiseptic. Chewing its leaves eliminates bad breath and is a natural deodorant.
1. Enhance antioxidant capacity
Recent scientific research has proved that free radicals and various human diseases are closely related. Some scientists believe that free radicals are the main cause of aging. Antioxidants help the body remove excess free radicals from the body.
Phytonutrients are an important part of dietary antioxidants, which can directly scavenge free radicals, or reduce the generation of free radicals, or eliminate their precursors. Polyphenols in phytonutrients have the highest antioxidant effect in both quantity and intensity, and flavonoids are the representatives; carotenoids can effectively inhibit the activity of singlet oxygen and free radicals, protect cells from damage, This prevents cells from mutating.
2. Regulate human immunity
Immunity is the body's key line of defense against the invasion of various external viruses and harmful bacteria. If the immunity is low, people are susceptible to infection and disease. Polysaccharides in phytonutrients have long been recognized as a broad range of immunomodulators. In addition, a number of experiments have proved that carotenoids have a regulatory effect on immune function, can improve the activity of immune cells, increase the number of immune cells, and stimulate and regulate the function of the immune system.
3. Prevent cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer that threatens human health and life. Numerous studies have shown that polyphenols such as flavonoids in phytonutrients have powerful antioxidant functions, help prevent atherosclerosis, and thus benefit various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; in addition, saponins and phytosterols It also has the effect of lowering cholesterol and regulating blood pressure.
4. Anti-cancer
At present, many plant scientific studies have shown that many phytonutrients such as flavonoids, isoflavones, carotenoids, organic sulfides and polysaccharides can inhibit the formation of cancer in various stages, thus playing the role of anti-cancer and anti-cancer. For example, isothiocyanate has the ability to inhibit tumor growth, has anti-breast cancer effect in women, and inhibits the occurrence of prostate cancer in men.
5. Reduce the rate of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is an invisible killer that seriously threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly women, especially the health of middle-aged and elderly women. Because of its similar structure to estrogen, isoflavones in phytonutrients can reduce bone loss, promote the utilization and absorption of calcium by the body, effectively reduce the incidence of osteoporosis, and have no side effects of estrogen.
