We’re told all our lives how good broccoli is for us – but most of us don’t really know HOW good...
If you don’t like broccoli – here are a few reasons you may want to acquire a taste for it:
• Broccoli fights cancer by activating detoxifying enzymes in the body. It also helps to protect estrogen-sensitive cells.
• It’s good for your eyes. Broccoli is rich in carotenoid antioxidants that help prevent cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
• Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, folic acid, calcium and fiber.
If you eat your broccoli raw – you’ll be absorbing more of all that good stuff. If you prefer it cooked, consider steaming it until it’s cooked but still a bit crunchy. Overcooking your broccoli locks some of the nutrients in, making them unavailable to your body.
