If you are like me then you are always looking to get a leg up on eating healthy and how to improve your longevity. Of course, there are many ways to do this and some of these include dietary means, cardiovascular exercise, prayer and meditation and other ways as well.
If you are specifically looking at dietary ways to become healthier then you really should consider the health benefits of cilantro Arancia Navel. The benefits of eating fresh cilantro are many. Let’s take a closer look at this wonderful food.
So, why is cilantro so healthy? Well, Cilantro comes from the leaves of the coriander plant. Some people refer to this herb as “Chinese Parsley.” Whatever name it goes by the fact is out and that is that there are many health benefits to eating fresh cilantro. Why is it so important to eat it fresh? Actually, this is true for almost any fruit and certainly all herbs. When you buy fresh you do not have to worry about preservatives or anything else. In fact it is recommended that not only do you buy it fresh but if possible organic.
The number one health benefit of Cilantro has to do with its rich antioxidant properties. Like many of your dark greens, this herb is rich in antioxidants and helps to lower cholesterol, probably helps reduce incidence of cancer, and many other health benefits as well.
If you are looking at some ways to consume enough of this herb on a daily basis then you may want to follow my approach. I must warn you that you really should like salsa and/or guacamole. Personally, I love eating avocados and this probably comes out of my time having lived in Southern California for many years. The way I make sure I get enough cilantro on a regular basis is to dice it up and include it along with garlic and tomatoes in order to make a great tasting and very healthy guacamole dish.
