Watercress is a very underrated leafy green. Not only is watercress packing more calcium, vitamin C and minerals than milk, oranges, and spinach; but it naturally has anti cancer properties that will blow your mind!
Watercress naturally has super powered phytonutrients that strengthen molecules in your circulatory system that can prevent and kill cancer agents in the body. Phytonutrients can also be found to have anti carcinogenic abilities that target lung, breast, and stomach cancers. It is amazing that this isn't the salad of choice for the masses. Watercress can be eaten raw and has a fresh crunchy and satisfying taste that i love :). It is also tasty steamed alone or with other vegetables, and has a consistency similar to spaghetti when steamed.
Did you think we were done with the astonishing benefits ? Wrong!
Watercress has been studied to prove that it repairs damaged white blood cells by reversing the DNA in the damaged cells. Roughly 90 grams of watercress per day yielded a 20% decrease in damaged cells through the course of a few weeks. Everyone go out and get some watercress, tell a friend and create heart healthy longevity supporting meals with the ones you love.
