let’s talk about arugula it’s actually an  amazing vegetable i consume arugula on a  

regular basis in fact i like this better than  spinach better than other types of lettuce leaf  

i put in my salad you don’t have to really add a  lot of things to that salad base because arugula  

naturally has a great flavor it’s kind of  peppery spicy hot and sweet at the same time  

so sometimes i’ll put a little extra virgin olive  oil high quality by the way and a little bit of  

vinaigrette karen doesn’t even use that she just  uses extra virgin olive oil arugula has some  

very interesting properties number one has  anti-cancer properties so there’s a lot of  

different plant chemicals that can help reduce  the risk of cancer because arugula is part of  

the cruciferous family number two it’s high in  calcium it’s high in potassium it’s high in folate  

it’s high in vitamin c it’s high in vitamin  k1 and it’s also high in the pre-vitamin  

a beta-carotene which is a carotenoid which has  many other properties now this pre-vitamin a  

has to be converted to the active form which is  very insignificant but there’s many great things  

about this pre-vitamin a that can help you number  three it’s low in oxalates which is great because  

that can help you reduce kidney stones if you are  a stone former and also oxalates tend to block  

the absorption of minerals so you’ll absorb more  minerals if you consume things that are low in  

oxalates also foods that are high in oxalates  like almonds and spinach and chocolate and  

kiwi can create like symptoms of arthritis  sometimes too so it’s not as common as you might  

think but it can do that number four it is great  flavor like i just mentioned number five it’s  

great for your cardiovascular system it has great  anti-inflammatory properties and it also can help  

decrease the risk of clotting probably because  it’s high in vitamin k1 all right number seven  

arugula has been known to increase libido and also  help in erectile dysfunction in fact it was used  

as an aphrodisiac back in the roman times there’s  not a lot of studies on this i did find one study  

it was involving mice and the mechanism of  action is that it increases nitrates which  

is part of nitric oxide which increases blood  flow but basically that’s the mechanism of how  

viagra works by increasing this nitric oxide so  will it actually cure your libido i have no idea  

give it a shot but of course if someone is not  on keto and they’re eating junk food and they’re  

eating arugula thinking that that’s going to  actually do something it’s probably not going to
