Nutritious broccoli can help you maintain your health and wellness...

Broccoli has plenty of health benefits. A cancer study published by John Hopkins University showed that broccoli helped decrease a tumor size by 75% and prevented tumor development by 60%.

​Broccoli is known as a super food and is beneficial to incorporate into any diet plan. Like many other super foods, broccoli is full of fiber that helps the body rid itself of cholesterol.

​Glucoraphanin found in broccoli aids with cancer prevention. 
When the body processes glucoraphanin it turns into a cancer-fighting compound called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane removes H. pylori from the body, which is a bacterium that increases gastric cancer risk. Broccoli has similar cancer-fighting compounds as vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.
 
Indole-3-carbinol in broccoli is a rich antioxidant that deters the growth of various cancers such as cervical, breast and prostate cancer. This vital anti-carcinogen is also great for enhancing liver function. A two-cup serving of broccoli two times a week can be enough to receive the benefits of cancer prevention. 
 
Broccoli has the highest concentration of vitamin C in its cruciferous vegetable group. It also has the flavonoids required to process vitamin C efficiently. Other great antioxidants found in broccoli include zeaxanthin, carotenoids lutein and beta-carotene. Bones benefit from broccoli’s vitamin K and calcium content, which also help prevent osteoporosis.
 
Inflammation and allergies can be hindered by broccoli due to its high levels of phytonutrients. Broccoli has the anti-flammatory isothiocyanates and kaempferol nutrients. Kaempferol has been found to lower the influence of allergy causing substances on the body. Isothiocyanates are known to stop blood vessel lining damages caused by inflammation. These inflammations are generally caused by blood sugar complications. 
 
Aside from aiding with flammation, isothiocyanates also allow the body to perform somewhat of a genetic detox. Omega 3 fatty acids are plentiful in broccoli and also act as an anti-flammatory. Other phytonutrients in broccoli include gluconasturtiin, glucoraphanin and glucobrassicin. They help aid the body in natural detoxification by stimulating, neutralizing and eliminating toxins. 
 
Broccoli’s rich fiber content helps stop constipation, support digestion, prevent overeating and maintain low blood sugar. A single cup of broccoli has the same amount of protein as a cup of rice but only half the calories. Broccoli also alkalizes the body, which is known to have many beneficial side affects. 
 
In order to keep the cholesterol count low, broccolis are best consumed steamed. Broccoli only needs to be lightly steam for a few minutes until it is slightly firm.
