Arugula is a healthy green. However, sometimes there are contraindications.
What are the benefits of arugula
Arugula has antiscorbutic, diuretic, antibacterial and lactogenic properties.
In addition, greens have a positive effect on metabolism, normalize the functioning of the immune and nervous systems, lower blood pressure, reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood and increase hemoglobin levels.
If you have no contraindications, you can eat arugula every day in reasonable quantities to get all the beneficial properties.
Who should not eat arugula
Nutritionists do not recommend eating arugula in large quantities if you have kidney or liver diseases, as well as colitis and gout.
The fact is that arugula contains a large amount of oxalic acid, which increases the risk of kidney stones.
You should also be careful if you are taking medications known as blood thinners.
After all, too much vitamin K can reduce their effectiveness.
This is because vitamin K is important for the blood clotting process.
