Cilantro and Heavy Metals

Some people love it, some people hate it.

Some say it tastes like soap.

But, did you know that cilantro is a very effective detoxifier of heavy metals in the body?

I'm not talkin' about heavy metal music, but just for fun, I linked a heavy metal music list, so you can think of cilantro while you listen to heavy metal music!

Cilantro can actually bind to heavy metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum, that end up in our body through environmental or food exposures.

These heavy metals can create unwanted symptoms like fatigue, skin conditions, and more.

Cilantro binds with them and escorts them out of the body.

It can be especially effective in combination with chlorella, another binding agent.

You can learn more in this article.

I learned about Chlorella being a binder from the awesome Food Matters Nutrition program that I’m enrolled in.

The nutrition program was co-created by

@Laurentine Tenbosch

, and it’s one of the most interesting and enjoyable programs I’ve ever done.

I’m also excited to become a certified Nutrition Practitioner when I finish the program. It sounds a little more professional than “self-professed Nutrition Nerd”, maybe?

What do you think of cilantro, fellow Thriver?

I love it! 🌱

I hate it! 😕

It smells so much like soap that I clean my sinks with it 🧼
