Ode to the broccoli

I've had an insatiable appetite for broccoli lately. I am very well aware of the fact that in movies or cartoons broccoli climbs up in the top of the most hated vegetables, but for some reason I crave it.

Of course, I wondered why. With no baby on board, the explanation couldn't be but medical. There must be some minerals or vitamins my body lacks that could justify it.

So I did a little google research and found out that:

1.they protect skin

2. regulate the digestive activities while preventing bacterial overgrowth

3.boost the detoxifying enzymes

4.all the cruciferous vegetables are a concentrated source of vitamin C and flavonoids

5.reduces cholesterol and gives support to chronic blood sugar problems. It adds vitamin B

6.sulfophane compound in it fights against osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

7.a good source of lutein and Zeaxanthin antioxidant which protects against muscular degeneration containing high levels of Calcium and vitamin K

8. gives a boost to our system

9. prevents constipation

Now, if you were seduced by my investigation here are some recipes that worth tried.

* plus, thanks to Ab I've recently started to use Alum deodorant. Just spreading the word when it comes to good natural products.
