Broccoli is Insanely Good For You

If you want to try something fun, change the serving size on the nutrition facts label on this page. Select "1 Bunch" and watch the vitamins and minerals increase at the bottom of the label.

You'll get a very quick visual sense of the power of eating a much larger portion size of broccoli. This is great for your long term health, but it can also give you more energy to workout.

Which is an immediate benefit, instead of something that is out there, not quite concrete and immediate. Feeling great is something that is immediate.

Health experts even suggest that broccoli can help with back pain, because of the high levels of Vitamin K which helps build strong bones.

Recipe: How To Make Broccoli Taste GREAT

A quote to get you to make this great recipe!!

"This soup is so delicious! It's a great way to get your veggies in. If you like  your food bland and boring, don't eat this, but if you enjoy thai/asain flavors, then definitely try this."


How Much Broccoli Do You Need To Eat To Get The Best Health Benefits?

You want to eat as much as possible. Some research shows that a half cup a day helps a great deal. For people at high risk (you know who you are), 3 cups a day will really help undo some of the damage you have already done.

For those of you following the PEERtrainer Cheat System, broccoli is an excellent way to earn your half or full cheat.

(And if you are earning your cheats, please let us know)

If you play around with the serving sizes, watch what happens to the vitamins and minerals on the nutrition label on this page. You'll see why we are doing what we are doing.

Why You Should Steam Broccoli:

The fiber in broccoli does a better job of binding with bile acids in your digestive system after they've been steamed. Your stomach uses bile acids in the digestion process of the fiber.

Your body then needs to make more bile, which it does from cholesterol!!
 
The result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw broccoli still has cholesterol-lowering ability- just not as much.

Summary Of The Nutrition Benefits Of Broccoli:

  • Helps the body detoxify extremely well
  • Large amounts of Vitamin A and K which the body needs in combination of Vitamin D
  • New research shows that it contains a substance that helps resist the affect of allergens, and helps to explain why Broccoli is such an important anti-inflammatory food.
  • Has a decent amount of Omega 3 fat- about the same as a liquid capsule of flax oil!
  • Out of all vegetables, Broccoli has the highest concentration of Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant.
