Why is Broccoli Beneficial?

In a word, sulforaphane.

Here’s the thing… cruciferous vegetables are believed to have various health benefits, such as preventing DNA damage and the spread of metastatic cancer, activating defenses against pathogens and pollutants, aiding in lymphoma prevention, enhancing liver detox enzymes, targeting breast cancer stem cells, and reducing the risk of prostate cancer progression.

Which is amazing, right?

No one likes to be in hot water for too long, including broccoli.

In today’s video I share many more fun facts (as well as a few recipes) so that you and broccoli can become besties for life. Ready?
