BROCCOLI | This super nutrient-packed vegetable is one powerhouse of a vegetable! Broccoli contains a strong antioxidant and anti-carcinogen that hinders the growth of prostate, cervical and breast cancer. One cup of broccoli has as much protein as a cup of rice or corn while also having half the calories. The large amounts of zinc, beta-carotene and selenium in this vegetable help strengthen immune defense. Because of broccoli’s high fiber and low sugar content, insulin can be kept at a minimum which helps fight diabetes. Broccoli holds more calcium than dairy, which helps promote healthier bones and prevents osteoporosis. The potassium, magnesium and calcium in broccoli helps regulate blood pressure. Broccoli also holds a good amount of Vitamin C, which helps relieve cold symptoms. Eat your veggies! Especially broccoli.
