This is
something most of us are forced into eating as children, because
parents are cruel and heartless. Unfortunately, this means that a lot
of us also grow up to hate broccoli as adults- and that is a real
shame.
Look,
you've probably heard this more than you ever want to, but your
parents had the right idea. Broccoli is one of the single most healthy foods in the world. It's perfect for weight loss because it
has a low concentration of carbohydrates but a lot of fiber- that's
the exact nutritional profile you want in a diet food.
But it
gets better. Broccoli is also an extremely good source of
diindolymethane and indole-3-carbinol. If you're not familiar with
those two compounds, just know that they have been shown to be
beneficial in the prevention of cancer.
Broccoli
is best raw or steamed, but I understand that a lot of you may not be
into that raw, natural, disgusting vegetable taste (I like it
myself). If you're looking for a tasty way to cook up your heart healthy broccoli, try a stir fry. There are literally hundreds of
ways you can alter stir fry to make it new each time.
