Too little consideration, however, is the plant of Parsley: its leaves and its roots can be used for diuretic infusions, but the parsley, in addition, has a strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, because it is a rich source of Vitamin C . Few people know that this plant contains - the same weight - a quantity of Vitamin C of oranges and 4 times greater is richer in calcium than milk and yogurt!

Another plant is the most precious fucus: This is a seaweed found in temperate and cold seas of the North, which is used in all its parts in order to obtain an extract rich in iodine, which is essential for proper functioning of the thyroid and the basal metabolic rate.
In the context of a balanced low-calorie diet and regular exercise, the fucus is particularly suitable for weight loss because it increases fat metabolism and also helps to reduce levels of bad cholesterol in the blood.
