3. Broccoli
Cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, and broccoli are high in nutrients. According to some studies, eating cruciferous veggies regularly is closely linked with a lower chance of developing heart disease and cancer.
Researchers have found that these amazing effects are due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Most cruciferous vegetables contain a highly powerful antioxidant named sulforaphane.
What exactly does this antioxidant do? Well, it fights inflammation by decreasing the amounts of cytokines (the molecules that are responsible for the inflammation).
I know some folks can’t even stand having broccoli on their plate. A helpful idea would be to replace broccoli with other cruciferous veggies or to try different ways of cooking it.
Trust me, your body will definitely thank you for including these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet.
