Arugula, the peppery, aromatic companion of salads, has now become the favorite of many health experts. There is a ton of scientific evidence that suggests that this salad green can offer way more to the human body than a delicious tangy taste.
Also known as ‘rocket’ lettuce, it was once infamously rumored to be an aphrodisiac, especially in ancient Rome. Love portions were made out of arugula during ancient times. Ancient Romans even ate it for good luck. Whether it worked as a potent aphrodisiac or not, we cannot say with certainty.
However, what is certain about arugula today is its many health benefits to the body. It is now known to help with digestion, blood pressure, provide vitamin K and calcium to our bones, and also, act as a good detoxifier.
Let’s go in-depth and learn how exactly this legendary green leafy vegetable helps the human body.
Arugula is packed with Vitamin K and calcium that are both essential nutrients needed for strong bones. Vitamin K, in particular, is needed for better absorption of calcium into the bones and teeth. Today, many suffer from a significant deficiency of vitamin K.
Thankfully, even half a cup of arugula contains about 10.9 micrograms of vitamin K, which means that 10 cups of arugula daily can supply you with 100% of your daily recommended rate of Vitamin K. Plus; it also contains 8 times more calcium than iceberg lettuce.
Arugula is a low-calorie plant, containing only 25 g calories per 100 grams of serving. As such, people who do have arugula daily are more likely to keep their weight in check than those who don’t.
Additionally, it is also high in fiber and good carbohydrates. Both of which help in keeping you from craving unhealthy food. Arugula ranks 8th in the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index among dark leafy green vegetables.
Arugula contains heart-friendly nutrients like Vitamin C, K, and folate. Vitamin C helps the body by dropping CRP plasma levels by 24%. Vitamin K, on the other hand, helps boost heart health by helping bones absorb calcium rather than flushing it into the arteries and block circulation.
Folate is essential in maintaining homocysteine levels in the body. High levels of homocysteine can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Arugula is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Arugula leaves can help defend the skin against harmful ultraviolet rays. Its high vitamin C content can boost collagen production. This, in turn, helps overcome other skin issues like acne, eczema, dry skin, etc.
According to USDA, 100g arugula contains 91.71 g fluid and 1.6g fiber. Its high fiber and fluid are beneficial, especially for those of you who are suffering from digestion issues. High fiber is good for your colon, intestines, gut lining, and other digestive organs.
Being alkaline in nature, arugula returns the body to optimal pH, which is great for digestion.
Arugula contains a substantial amount of both calcium and magnesium. Both of which dilate blood vessels and help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Arugula can significantly reduce blood pressure levels, thus reducing the chances of heart-related issues.
Arugula is also rich in potassium, which can work phenomenally against hypertension.
Arugula works as a great natural detoxifier. Arugula’s vitamin C, chlorophyll, and antioxidant content can help flush out harmful toxins from the body. Chlorophyll, in particular, can help prevent DNA damage from aflatoxins. It helps neutralize heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful chemicals that enter your system via diet.
Studies have shown that arugula seed oil can decrease insulin levels and hyperglycemia. Further studies also showed a reduction in lipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Arugula is a great food option for people with the risk of diabetes due to its low sugar content.
Apart from the above benefits, arugula is being studied to test its merit against cancer, improving cognitive function, and promoting longevity. Arugula is a delicious green leafy vegetable option that compliments your meal perfectly.
They can make worthy additions to your salad and smoothies. We recommend consuming arugula raw or lightly steamed to preserve all of its phytochemicals.

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
