its effectiveness on the entire body. Rich in

Vitamin C,
garlic is commonly used to improve digestion,
fight infection, increase circulation and help
prevent cardiovascular disease.
Parsley is a rich source of calcium,
iron, riboflavin, potassium, thiamine, vitamin A,
Vitamin C
and trace amounts of niacin. Parsley is commonly
known for being a great digestive aid and breath
freshener. It has a high content of odor-absorbing
and oxygenating chlorophyll. In fact, parsley is
commonly used in herbal combination formulas for
weight loss, and supplements that support the
kidneys, liver, thyroid and other glandular
systems.
Cranberries have been used for hundreds
of years to promote urinary tract health, because they
contain substances which alter the bacteria population
in urine. The substances found in the juice of cranberries
seems to make harmful bacteria less likely to cling to
the surface of cells in the urinary tract.
