The Benefits of Broccoli
Happy Wednesday friends!
Today’s Wellness Wednesday.
Superfoods…..
Broccoli has long been heralded as one of the healthiest vegetables because of its nutritional makeup. This superfood is loaded with fiber, calcium, antioxidants to fight cancer, and vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. It can also help in treating type 2 diabetes, as it helps in combating blood glucose levels, too!
Aiming to eat broccoli as well as other cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts) several times a week is a good idea to reap the benefits of consuming it!
Broccoli can also improve your brain power!
Choline is a compound that encourages the growth of new brain cells as well as neural connections, both of which are important for your brain and your memory, and the good news is that Broccoli is very high in choline.
Scientific studies show that a choline deficiency during pregnancy can cause neural tube defects in infants, so it’s super important to get enough of it!
Eating 3 cups of broccoli each week is one of the best ways to improve your brain power.
