Parsley contains a large amount of vitamins A, C, K and antioxidant compounds. In particular, it is famous for its ability to detoxify the body.
Doctor, leading integrated medicine expert Andrew Weil (USA) commented: "Coriander has the ability to bind and support the natural elimination of heavy metals from the body. However, because it contains strong biological active ingredients, daily consumption in large quantities needs to be carefully monitored, especially for patients undergoing medical treatment.
To maximize the effect without side effects, here are some tips for you:
Be careful with anticoagulants
Similar to basil, cilantro is rich in Vitamin K, a substance that plays an important role in blood clotting. If you are using blood thinners (such as Warfarin), eating too much cilantro can reduce the effectiveness of the drug, causing danger to the cardiovascular system.
Note the risk of hypoglycemia and blood pressure
Cilantro has the property of reducing blood sugar levels and supporting blood pressure reduction. People with a history of low blood pressure or taking diabetes medication should eat it in moderation to avoid dizziness due to sudden hypoglycemia.
Emphasizing hygiene
Because cilantro is mainly eaten raw, the risk of intestinal infections (such as E. coli or Salmonella) from soil and water is very high. Soak and wash thoroughly with salt water or specialized vegetable rinse solution before enjoying.
