The lowdown on Parsley
Parsley is much more than just a colorful garnish. It rejuvenates and detoxifies the body. This herb is a huge powerhouse of vitamin c, iron, calcium, sodium, beta-carotene, manganese and chlorophyll.
I always keep a washed bunch of parsley in the fridge and nibble on it throughout the day. If you stand it in a jar of water and cover with a plastic bag it just lasts and lasts. It's also great to add to juices and smoothies.
This gorgeous dark green herb is an effective diuretic, helping to keep a healthy flow of urine and preventing urinary tract problems and kidney stones. And guess what? studies have shown that it is effective in slowing down the ageing process. Now there's a reason to eat it by the kilo! In addition it assists in lowering cholesterol, promotes good kidney health and cell detox.
Happy munching .......

Healing with the Fairies Oracle Card Reading (Doreen Virtue Ph.D)
Rise above problems
Card meaning : When you are in the middle of a problem, the solution often evades you. See your situation from a higher perspective, and you may see a new way out.
Affirmation : My heart, my mind, my life and everyone in it are perfectly at peace right now.
Do what makes your heart sing and waltz through this wonderful Monday.
peace 'n whirlpools of luv
