It's pretty to look at, it tastes good, it's inexpensive and on top of that, its grate for our bodies health. Fennel truly is a gift from our planet and in a time, when a lot of people are suffering from health problems, fennel can aid in putting us back on track. fennel has some amazing properties:
it is high in vitamins A,B,C and K
It has a high concentration of essential oils, essential for immune function health
it is anti fungal and anti bacterial.
Fennel improves vision, reduces flatulence and re-balances gut flora. Fennel is best known for its ability to prevent anemia and regulate the menstrual cycle, but is is also great at strengthening the hair follicles, to reduce hair loss. recent studies have also shown that anethole, found in fennel seeds, can aid in the prevention of certain cancer cells.
I find the best way to consume fennel, is either as a juice, or roasted, but there are many ways you can add a touch of fennel to to your life. When used as a juice, I find it best to use 1/2 a fennel, 2 celery sticks (see previous post), lemon juice, 1 apple and 1/2 carrot. Mix them all in your juicer...don't forget to add the water. Drink and enjoy.
