The Parsley Fix

Chewing parsley instead of tobacco will soon be the next big thing (but without the spitting).

Feel exhausted from work and clogged by too much coffee? Craving for something…but don't know what it is? Maybe all you need is to chew parsley and notice how your brain is taking off instead of folding down.

Parsley is the world's most popular herb. It has been used traditionally as a natural diuretic, as a detoxifying agent to the kidneys, and as a natural breath freshener. Nonetheless, unknowingly to many, parsley is also a member of the elite superfood group – with pound-for-pound the most dense and bioavailable nutritional content among plant foods. Parsley delivers more Vitamin C than oranges, more iron than spinach, more Vitamin A, folic acid, potassium and calcium than any other green leafy vegetable. Most importantly, parsley is one of the greatest carriers of some of the most potent anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant nutrients, most notable among them are monoterpene glycosides – known as cancer killers; methyl donors that nourish and protect gene integrity; flavonoids, known as antioxidant and hormonal balancing immuno supportive agents; coumarins, which help prevent blood clotting, arterial blockages and strokes; and polyacetylenes, the most efficient bio-electrical conductors believed to potentially support healing and protect against formation of cancer cells.

It's impossible to put a label on parsley. Its unique nutritional composition is so dense and bioavailable that simply said, it will pick up your brain within minutes. The parsley fix routine is simple: Chew a handful of parsley leaves every few hours. Friends who have been using the parsley fix have reported a notable increase in energy levels and overall resilience to fatigue and stress. Parsley will refresh your breath and nourish your brain. Warrior Diet & AEDiet followers can take advantage of the parsley fix during the undereating phase. Once you start it, most likely you won't stop. The more you do this parsley fix, the better it gets. Parsley can be packed in a paper bag or a Ziploc and can be easily carried to work or when on the road. Based on my own experience, parsley sustains itself pretty well for a few days, even in warm outdoor conditions.
