Falling for Broccoli
Broccoli is known as the “Crown Jewel of Nutrition” because it is rich in vitamins, high in fiber while low in calories. Not only does broccoli provide you with the best vegetable nutrition available, it also gives you many ways to lead a healthier and longer life. For example, broccoli in many ways helps you fight and prevent heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States.
Broccoli and Cancer
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Unfortunately, most cases go undetected for years before symptoms appear. This often limits the amount of therapy available. The best medicine is therefore preventive medicine and that is where nutrition plays its largest role. Although eating a healthy diet that is low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables does not guarantee that you will not get cancer, it definitely does help lower the risk.
Broccoli has multiple cancer-fighting properties including vitamin C, beta-carotene and fiber. It is also rich in phytochemicals which appear to protect us from certain cancers and heart disease. Indole carbinol and sulforaphane are two different phytochemicals that can be found in broccoli.
A good example of a broccoli eater
Mitch Edmunds has only just begun to realize his lifelong dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder. He is a natural, drug-free bodybuilder, and his transformation and continued progress is an inspiration to people who want to make impressive gains without using drugs. Mitch's success is due to persistence and following a viable training. In his latest interview, he talks about how he eats and how he balances the right vegetable intake during the day. He uses broccoli as a big part of his diet.
So, here's what I recommend. Get your broccoli and eat it.
You can sauté it, steam it, roast it or blanch it. You can also try it in soup, salads or stir-fry. To pick perfect broccoli, select a bunch head that has tight florets and is deeply green, often tinged with purple. Broccoli can usually be stored in a refrigerator for up to 4 days. With these simple tips, eat up and begin a healthier life.
