It can also lower inflammation in the body, which is linked to many chronic diseases, such as arthritis. If you ate watercress every day for two months, you would reduce your risk of cancer, limit DNA damage to your white blood cells, and lower your triglycerides by 10 per cent. Eat more watercress! 10,000 deer can’t be wrong!

Watercress has a slightly peppery flavor that adds an extra flavorful crunch to sandwiches, works great in salads, and can even be added to soups without fear of losing its nutrients during cooking. Any recipe where you can use lettuce or spinach, you can use watercress in its place. Great creative and think watercress!
