A recent study suggests that watercress may be the healthiest vegetable on the planet.

You may be wondering why that is the case.

One reason is its exceptional ability to reduce oxidative stress within the body while increasing antioxidant levels in the blood.

Among its various internal benefits, consider the following:

– Cleanses the blood and blood vessels
– Boosts energy levels
– Stimulates the appetite
– Detoxifies the body and rids it of toxins
– Chewing this tiny plant can elevate your mood by triggering the release of the happiness hormone serotonin. Meanwhile, you’ll be strengthening your gums.
– Supports the functioning of the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder, aiding in the digestion of even fatty foods.

TIP: If you’re indulging in a heavy meal, you can balance it out with a salad that includes watercress.

Watercress juice is also highly effective for addressing skin issues. It can treat conditions like:

– Acne
– Eczema
– Rashes
– Hair loss
– Sunburn

All you need to do is juice the watercress and apply it to the affected areas on your skin.
