It is almost time for fall veggies to make their way to farmer’s market and our local grocery stories. One of my top veggies in the fall is broccoli. I love these healthy green veggie, and better yet so does my whole family. So, what makes these crunchy greens so healthy? Here are a few little nutritional health facts to keep you reminded when you go to the store.

Broccoli contains protein and is one of the richest vegetable sources of calcium, iron and magnesium.

Broccoli contains selenium, a mineral that has been found to have anti-cancer and anti-viral properties.

Research has shown that compound (indole-3-carbinol)helps deactivate a potent estrogen metabolite that promotes tumor growth, especially in estrogen-sensitive breast cells, while at the same time increasing the level of 2-hydroxyestrone, a form of estrogen that can be cancer-protective. Indole-3 carbinol has been shown also to suppress not only breast tumor cell growth, but also cancer cell metastasis (the movement of cancerous cells to other parts of the body).

Broccoli is also good for helping sun-damaged skin, reducing heart disease risk, and cataract prevention.

Broccoli is great for pregnant woman to, as it boost a good amount of folic acid.

A lot of people ask me, “Mike, how can you say that chronic disease is reversible? The American Medical Association doesn’t say it’s reversible. The American Cancer Society says there’s no cure for cancer. How can you say that these diseases are reversible?”

The answer requires an understanding of a much more advanced framework for health and the underlying causes of disease. Fundamentally, these diseases are fictitious in the sense that they are not caused by invading microbes — thus, they are not diseases in the way we typically think of infectious disease like smallpox, malaria or influenza.
