Arugula Nectarine Salad

Arugula and nectarine are a match made in heaven in this fresh, juicy salad. With just the right amount of spice from the arugula and some crunch from the pistachio nuts and romaine, it’s a salad you may find yourself making over and over again. 

As I share in my bestselling book, Thyroid Healing, “arugula reduces nodules, tumors, and cysts in the thyroid (both cancerous and benign) and helps prevent Epstein-Barr Virus related thyroid cancer in the first place. Arugula’s phytochemical compounds enter into the thyroid, rejuvenating tissue there while reducing thyroid scar tissue. These compounds also push out old storage bins of thyroid medication from the liver.

Lettuce (especially butter leaf and romaine) stimulates peristaltic action in the intestinal tract and helps cleanse EBV from the liver and lymphatic system. These lettuces are also blood cleansing and blood building. In addition, they hold trace mineral salts that support the adrenal glands, which ultimately supports the thyroid.”

The beta carotene in nectarines is beneficial for reproductive issues, eye sight, oral health, respiratory ailments, bone development, and the immune system. Nectarines high fiber content make them great for digestive and constipation issues and their high water content helps to hydrate the body on a deep cellular level.
