It’s been around since around the 6th Century BC, and for good reason. It boasts benefits ranging from helping to lower cholesterol and promoting healthy skin. For all these reasons, it’s a great idea to add broccoli to your daily health regimen.

Detoxification

Since broccoli has vitamin-C, sulfur, and amino acids, it is a great detoxifier. It helps to remove free radicals and toxins like uric acid from the body, thereby purifying the blood and preventing a myriad of skin issues such as rashes, eczema, dermatitis and more. The properties that broccoli has like beta-carotene and vitamin-C, as well as other nutrients like vitamin B complex, vitamin E, vitamin A & K, omega 3 fatty acids, helps promote radiant, gorgeous skin.

Cancer Prevention And Treatment

Thanks to the presence of strong anti-carcinogenic compounds like glucoraphanin, diindolylmethane, beta-carotene, selenium and other nutrients like vitamin C, A, and E, zinc, potassium and certain amino acids, broccoli can be a powerful treatment for cancers, especially cancers like breast cancer and uterine cancer, since it removes Estrogen from the body.

Good For Stomach Issues

Most people don’t get enough fiber in their diet, and fiber can help prevent a number of stomach issues. Broccoli is a very rich source of fiber, which can help prevent constipation, which is at the root of many stomach issues. The magnesium and vitamins present in it also cure acidity, facilitate proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food and soothe the stomach by reducing inflammation.

Blood Pressure And Heart Disease

Thanks in part to the fiber and nutrients, broccoli can help reduce bad cholesterol and keep the heart functioning properly by regulating blood-pressure. Some studies show that when you steam broccoli, the fiber components combine more efficiently with the stomach bile, making it much easier and efficient to excrete. Reducing bile has a strong impact on cholesterol levels which can help with your heart health. The potassium found in broccoli is a vasodilator that can boost blood flow and oxygenation of essential organs by relaxing tension and stress of veins and blood vessels.

Adding more broccoli to your diet, or even as a supplement can provide your skin and body with a boost of healthy properties.
