Parsley is so nutritious . I like its taste. I add this to the fish I like to cook with a very small amount of water.Do not include the branches.This vegetable is also very vulnerable. You cannot keep in ref for many days, It is good only for two days like spinach two days to survive in refrigerator They must be refrigerated for they turn dry and pale .It rots after 3 days. You have to place parsley inside a plastic and seal it well to preserve this stuff.
I eat parsley once a day during lunch time. -
Parsley is great for you. It’s good for your body. This is one herb that I seem to get to eat all the time. I love Italian food and I always have parsley in my Italian food. I love putting on my bake pork chops too.

Here are some simple and often surprising tricks that research shows can extend your life..
1 Switch your latte for a cuppaTea is packed with antioxidants called polyphenols that can help your body fight heart disease, cancer and premature ageing. Aside from the health benefits, couples with a healthy sex life can also look up to seven years younger, according to a study by the Royal Edinburgh Hospital – possibly because sex reduces stress, leading to greater contentment and better sleep.
4 Eat three walnuts a dayWalnuts are the healthiest nut of all because they contain the most disease-fighting and anti-ageing antioxidants, according to recent search from the University of Scranton, US.
Eating just three walnuts a day is enough to reap the full benefits.
5 Use less sunscreen but don’t burnFigures show that 50% of people in the UK are deficient in vitamin D, the nutrient made by the action of sunlight on our skin, increasing our risk of a host of potentially fatal conditions including heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer.
To boost your vitamin D levels without raising your risk of skin cancer, Cancer Research UK now recommends getting a few minutes (in practice around 15 to 20) of sun around the middle of the day without sunscreen.
But make sure you don’t burn, or you’ll wipe out any health benefits.
6 Make six good mates you can always rely onDeveloping close friendships and family ties is the secret of living to 100, according to a recent Australian study of centenarians.
Friends provide emotional support, which helps us deal with stress, and feeling loved boosts production of feel-good chemicals dopamine and oxytocin, which promote brain growth, combating ageing.
Other research has pinpointed six as the optimum number of friends we each need.
7 Stop eating when you’re 80% fullThe Okinawans, who inhabit remote Japanese islands, have one of the world’s lowest rates of obesity, as well as the highest percentage of people living beyond 100.
Their secret? At every meal, they stop eating when they feel about 80% satisfied, happily leaving any excess food on their plate.
American researchers have also found animals can live up to twice as long when their food intake is reduced by up to a third.
As well as helping them to maintain a healthier weight, it’s thought eating less means the metabolism has less work to do, putting less long-term stress on the body.
8 Go to bed one hour earlier if you canLack of sleep can put you at greater risk of health conditions such as depression and heart disease, according to a raft of recent research.
And yet a small change makes a big difference – a study from Harvard Business School in the US found that for people who normally slept for seven hours or less a night, going to bed just one hour earlier led to a significant drop in blood pressure – therefore lowering their risk of heart attacks and strokes.
9 Make sure you floss every night“Gum disease is the most widespread condition on the planet,” says dentist Dr James Russell.
“So I say sarcastically – floss the teeth you want to keep!”
And it’s not just your teeth that will thank you – in the past 10 years, studies have linked gum disease to an increased risk of other conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
10 Be a details personResearch by US psychologist Dr Howard Friedman has found that the best predictor of longevity is how conscientious a person is.
That’s right – people who are careful with money, thoughtful, detail-focused and like to put everything back in its rightful place tend to live longer!
It’s thought that conscientious people may produce more of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, which stops them comfort-eating and improves their sleep.
They also appear to be drawn towards healthier choices and can live less risky lifestyles.
11 Buy yourself a pet, and preferably a dogPeople who own a pet are less stressed, less depressed and can live longer than those who don’t, according to research.
The calming effect of owning an animal can even drop blood pressure and reduce your risk of a heart attack, according to University of Minnesota researchers in the US.
Another study found owners who walk their dogs daily lived an average of seven years longer than otherwise similar non-dog owners.
12 Don’t put fruit in the fridgeYou might think you’re making it last longer, but studies show that chilled fruit contains fewer health-boosting nutrients than fruit, which has been kept at room temperature.
For example, tomatoes and peppers stored in a bowl rather than the fridge can contain double the betacarotene and up to 20 times more lycopene.
Which is good news, as high intakes of both these antioxidants have been linked to better heart health and lower rates of certain cancers.
13 Be helpful and lend a hand to othersHelping others not only feels good – it could reap big health rewards too.
A long-term US study found that people who volunteered regularly over a lifetime lived significantly longer than those who didn’t.
One Israeli study found that moderate tea drinkers lived substantially longer than those who don’t have a regular cuppa.
But remember to give it a good stir before removing the tea bag, as research shows this releases 15% more of the age-resisting ingredients.
2 Balance on one leg every morningIt may sound strange, but standing on alternative legs while you dress in the morning forces your body to balance, strengthening your ‘core’ (back, pelvic and stomach) muscles which support your spine.
According to physiotherapist Tom Salzman: “This simple daily act will offer significant long-term benefits when it comes to staying active for longer and protecting against falls and broken bones as you get older.”
3 Have regular sex at least twice a weekA large Welsh study on longevity found that those who had sex less than once a month had double the risk of dying prematurely than those who had sex twice a week

@Miranda Hunt, Thank you dear for sharing your nice comment. At least you also like to eat parsley. I eat parsley every lunch and dinner. I just clean the leaves and then pour boiling water onto the bowl containing this vegetable. The juice of this vegetables contains anti-oxidants, best fighter for cancer cells that may abnormally grow to a human body. I like to eat this with smaller leaves easy to wash and easy to chew hehehehe. I love its bitter taste.It is from its taste that full protected will be achieved.
Lucky are those like us for we know the importance of the vegetables. We have great chances to bet bad sicknesses. Thnaks and take care my friend.

The delicious and vibrant taste and wonderful healing properties of parsley are often ignored in its popular role as a table garnish. Highly nutritious, parsley can be found year round in your local supermarket.
Parsley is the world’s most popular herb. It derives its name from the Greek word meaning “rock celery” (parsley is a relative to celery). It is a biennial plant that will return to the garden year after year once it is established.
A sprig of parsley can provide much more than a decoration on your plate. Parsley contains two types of unusual components that provide unique health benefits. The first type is volatile oil components—including myristicin, limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene. The second type is flavonoids—including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol, and luteolin.

That is why one time in the past month, I ate white kidney bean extract I noticed I did not feel hungry. Yes, this is true, so from now on, I will announce this to my class having many fatty students heheehehe. That is true I have so many fatty students section by section, The main reason is they keep on eating or dining in Jolibee or McDonald’s.
What about you? Do you know of a fatty person or persons? Try to suggest this to them to reduce their body carbs.If you are fatty, there is always precedence of entry of bad sicknesses like diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other sicknesses caused by being fat.
-
Question. Instead of the extract, can I just eat the white kidney beans? I love beans!
-
Treathyl FOX , sure my dear. What is emphasized here is to have the white beans cooked and see them peel out and they wi produce enzymes that stops over carbs.If you cooked the beans, cook them if low fire then gradually they will break, et them coo and eat them after or during meal time. You may add some stuffs to the white kidney beans. What we are doing this at home is just cook the beans and put some ingredients to make them taste palatable and yummy.There are actually bigger kidney beans. They are also better but they are so huge,o. I prefer the not so big white beans easy to chew into pieces. These beans really have their own taste that is attractive to my tongue.
-
I have tried to buy white kidney beans and I feel myself glamorous,LOL. It is a fantastic bea, so yummy and tasty that sometimes I used them as my snack food with fresh milk added..

Eating or dining in a fast food chain makes you fatty,lol.They cook foods floating in not the right cooking oil causing the customers to face risk of high blood pressure and high blood sugar. The reason is so simple. The drinks they prepare are too sugary,They just kill one glass juice through ice cubes, but the fact remains, plentiful sugar is there,unlike if we are the one preparing our drinks. Fries are also not good for they contain high carbs and also cook floating in cooking oil and such oil is not the right oil.Other food chains use overused cooking oil,One time. I complained for the fries I ate had a very bad smell and taste. Then one guy told me that they reused the cooking oil. They are cheating [people when in fact their foods price is above the neck.Also the chicken they serve is not nutritious for the chickens are fed with chemicals. That is one reason why many sick of tumor and different kinds of cancer. That is due to eating chicken whose foods all derived from chemicals.
Nothing can substitute vegetables and our own cooking at home,

ok that was good post, and i like it but dining in junk food hall is not what makes you fat, its how you eat ,waht and when and the quantity, so do not blame junk food it is shared thing, so nothing will substitute the sports in losing weight or burning fats, go play sport regularly and eat wht you want then
-
The best way to burn fat is to eat less. measure your food. If you are an Asian and heavy weight, measure your rice only one cup each meal. Avoid drinking soft drinks like coke and others for they tend to expand the body through the activation of sugar. Consume most of the time water, at least 8 minimum glasses requirement everyday. Sometimes we do not feel like drinking water, but we have to force ourselves to drink to release the toxic entries of our body through urination.Also spend some minutes exercising like brisk walking, dancing or body stretching just legs and arms and then heads then after some weeks the entire body to move , twisting ,blending.
-
Good post on a new type of diet that I never heard before. This diet does look really healthy but still to burn fat you also need to exercise as well

From now on, you have to eat vegetables. If possible, cook your own food.Do not dine outside or dine at fast food chains because their foods are less nutritious.All foods they cook in cooking oil that has no nutritional value at all. Of course, they never think about the welfare of the customers or diners.Their concern is their own pocket, to profit more and become richer and richer,But everything has end and many establishments will rise, and it happens, I hi ope, they would be pro-life business people .

Thanks for researching on these healthy foods that regulates blood sugar levels. It is so interesting to note that it included cow’s kidney, heart and brain. Don’t they cause rheumatism due to high uric acid?

Now that you know about this citrus fruit that lets you feel fuller and never crave for more food why not applying it immediately.I think the best time to eat citrus is in the evening and have it serve as your dinner.It was not mentioned as to how many pieces of citrus fruit to consume. Actually, last December, I observed that I did not feel hungry after eating citrus fruit. I consumed 5 small citrus and after I ate them, I no longer feel hungry and no longer ate dinner. Frankly, I never had idea before that citrus fruit is very powerful fruit that lets us feel full and we cannot anymore overeat because of the satisfactory full feeling.
What do you think? Have you tried this in your ,life before or just learn it now? Thanks for reading.
Now,I have idea to have citrus as my snack hehehe. It is better to have this than to have burgers though. My weight is 110 pounds and of course, I won’t anymore drop some. I need extra weight for my works require me energy. I lecture straight 3 hours today and did not have my breakfast, I was so surprised why I was not craving for food.In the evening before I went to bed, I ate 4 pieces of small citrus hehehe.hat might be the reason why I felt hungry at 10 o clock in the morning.My lecture starts at seven o” clock and ends at 10:30 and was so hungry then. When I arrived the faculty office, I ate food fish with parsley, garlic and pepper.
Try this now, do not wait for the next day …that is if you want to reduce your weight.
