Broccoli is an edible green plant from the cabbage family. It is very similar to cauliflower, which is a different variety of vegetable, but is of the same species, just like broccoli. There is no person who does not know how useful this vegetable is, although it is not a favorite of children because of its specific taste and green color.
What makes broccoli so good for your health?
First of all, because they contain large amounts of vitamins C and K, beta-carotene, folic acid, as well as B vitamins. They are rich in calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc . In addition to the above, they contain various antioxidants and plant compounds that contribute to their health benefits.
- Sulforaphane – the main compound in broccoli that protects against various types of cancer;
- Indole-3-carbinol – found mainly in cruciferous vegetables. This compound also counteracts processes associated with the development of cancer;
- Lutein – together with beta-carotene, contributes to better eye health;
- Kaempferol – a strong antioxidant that protects the body from cardiovascular diseases, inflammation and allergies;
- Quercetin – its advantage is that it lowers high blood pressure in people who suffer from hypertension.
What is sulforaphane and how is it formed?
It is a compound from the group of isothiocyanate organosulfur compounds. It is formed when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin and glucosinolate into sulforaphane when the plant is damaged (chewing or cutting during food preparation), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
Health benefits:
- Supports healthy digestion
Broccoli is rich in fiber and antioxidants, which support normal bowel function and digestion. Consuming foods rich in fiber and antioxidants plays an important role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function. It reduces the level of inflammation in the colon and has a beneficial effect on the microbiome.
- Strengthens the immune system
Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C, the most important vitamin for immune function. It plays an indispensable role in both the prevention and treatment of various diseases.
- Prevents the formation of cancer cells
Cancer is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal cells and is often associated with oxidative stress. Broccoli is full of compounds that protect the body from the development of tumors. Observational studies have shown that consumption of cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, is associated with a reduced risk of developing many types of cancer, including lung, colon, breast, prostate, pancreatic and stomach. The compound indole-3-carbinol, also found in broccoli, affects liver enzymes, reduces oxidative stress, reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and fights the development and growth of cancer. Sulforaphane works against cancer formation at the molecular level by reducing the effects of free radicals on cells.
Broccoli contains beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Thus, consuming this vegetable improves vision in people with low vitamin A intake.
- Powerful antioxidant properties to improve health
The antioxidant content of broccoli may be one of its main health benefits. They are molecules that inhibit or neutralize cell damage caused by free radicals. In this way, they reduce inflammation and have an overall protective effect.
