Pineapple is a tropical fruit rich in potassium which is great for people suffering from kidney disease. The flavor of pineapple will cover up the parsley taste and is commonly used for treatment of osteoarthritis and digestive tract swelling. Pineapples also contain bromelain, thiamin, vitamin B6, C and manganese.
Celery is rich in dietary fiber which will keep your bowels clean and improve digestion. It contains antioxidants such as quercetin and phenolic acid which will fight inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Celery is commonly used against joint pain, low blood pressure, cancer and can also soothe the nervous system. It is a common ingredient of many diets since it contains almost no calories.
Parsley isn’t just a nice addition to your meals – it’s a powerful diuretic which is used to treat urinary tract infections, kidney stones and edema. It can also treat osteoarthritis, anemia and high blood pressure. However, pregnant women should avoid it because it can cause miscarriage.
