Broccoli Helps Reverses Diabetes Damage
If adding to the diet more vegetables in the family diet will reveal that vegetable (plant-food) is nature's natural medicine and can reverse diseases and sustain maxium health.
Eating broccoli could reverse the damage that diabetes, especially on heart and blood vessels areas the key component compound is in the vegetable called sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane vegetables encourages production of enzymes that protect the blood vessels, and reduces the number of molecules that cause cell damage -- known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) -- by up to 73 percent.
One of broccoli’s most powerful compounds is the phytochemical sulforaphane. This compound has been found to restore your immune system as you age and increase your liver's ability to detoxify carcinogenic compounds and free radicals. This turn protects against cell mutatio. It turns out sulforaphane also protects your heart.


All greens Alkalinize you system with its phytonutrients 1. It reduces levels of harmful molecules called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).
2. It activates a protein called nrf2, which triggers protective antioxidant and detoxifying
enzymes that protect your cells and mutations, cancer and other harmful effects. Most of the veggies in the cruciferous family also contain it, includes vegetables such as turnips, Bok choy, rutabaga, mustard greens, cauliflower, radishes, Swiss Chard, Kale, etc.


Try broccoli Sprouts... Just 5 grams (0.17 ounces) of broccoli sprouts contain concentrations of the compound glucoraphanin (a precursor to sulforaphane) equal to that found in 150 grams (5.2 ounces) of mature broccoli.
If you opt to eat mature broccoli, keep in mind that the way you cook it can greatly alter its nutrient content. Lightly steaming should keep most of its phytonutrients intact, but if you decide to microwave it you could be reducing the beneficial compounds by 74-90 percent.
You can always just eat broccoli raw, of course, and this will ensure that most all of its phytonutrients are intact.
