EAT YO GREENS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be the first to admit that growing up, I hated this stuff. But as I’ve matured and started taking my health seriously, my taste buds have literally changed. Cravings for fat, sugar and junk were completely gone within the first month I started on this journey… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But do you really understand how powerful broccoli is?? This one plant has the potential to increase your vitality each and every day, and here’s why! But first… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sticking to a plant based diet (organic, whole foods, no meat/dairy) has revolutionized my health. One thing I am going to start doing is highlighting some my absolute favorite superfoods right here and give some nuggets of science and wisdom to shed light on how they benefit the body. Get ready!

So broccoli has tons of minerals and vitamins like C and K in abundance, along with fiber for gut support. But one compound called sulforaphane is particularly powerful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s released when eating cruciferous vegetables but especially in broccoli. Human studies have shown that sulforaphane has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Now we’re finding that broccoli helps with joint support and osteoarthritis. It physically blocks inflammation in joints! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s something I’m really excited about: broccoli sprouts contains more sulforaphane than mature broccoli. These guys only take 4 days to sprout and you eat them raw. I usually like to grow them in a sprouting jar. Best of all, this requires very little effort. They taste just like broccoli but with a hint of radish. One of the best things you could eat.
Seriously, grow sprouts. Buy more broccoli at the store. Grow your own! If you're like I was for over a decade, having growing space, a decent backyard, or time to grow your own food can be a problem. That's why I'm excited about Super Meal. It has 40 whole food, organic ingredients including broccoli sprouts, mushrooms, and tons of hard-to-find superfoods. Use my link here and get a $50 gift card towards your first 30-day supply.
