Doctors Reveals That Eating Green Broccoli Causes …

1. Slows down the aging process, protects the skin and body from free radicals
Broccoli contains many powerful antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, lutein and especially sulforaphane – a rare plant active ingredient that can protect cells.

These substances help neutralize free radicals – which are the culprits that damage cells, promote the aging process and make the skin wrinkled and dull quickly. Free radicals are also associated with many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.

To maximize the anti-aging benefits, women should steam broccoli instead of boiling it to retain vitamins and enzymes. Combining it with olive oil, butter or dishes rich in good fats will help the body better absorb oil-soluble antioxidants.
